There is Amazon Glacier, which would bring this down to $22.12, but while that is a great fit for truly cold storage, not all of my data falls into that category, and the work of sorting it into two separate systems probably exceeds the savings. BTW, Google would be charging more than 2x Amazon here for network – insane. In those cases, it’s 5GB here or 10GB there and the price difference isn’t big enough to matter. Where I do have restores is when I make a junior sysadmin mistake or suddenly something I was told I could delete shouldn’t have been deleted, etc. So I really don’t care what the cost is to restore all 6TB, but for the record, it’s $61.44 from B2 and $307.15 from Amazon S3 (first GB of restore egress is free). Now, to be fair, if I had a true disaster (house burns down or something), I would be thrilled to pay any amount to get back all of my data. The real kicker is if I ever need to restore that.
Not bad, considering Amazon S3 would be more like $129.
So for example, let’s say I have 6TB I want to store. I would love to use TarSnap for everything, but it’s too expensive, though I do keep my top-tier backups ther.ī2 has very straightforward pricing: $.005 per GB per month, and $.01 per GB download. For some time, I’ve been using BackBlaze B2 as my primary (though not exclusive) cloud backup solution.
