Glacier is also 99.999999999%.
But those nines are only true if Amazon's software is bug-free. I've lost data on Glacier on my home account. They personally called me to apologize.
- Tloewald 11y agoSo empirically speaking their reliability is far, far worse than stated just based on that one data point.
- onethumb 11y agoHow so? We'd need to know both how much data cjensen lost and how much data Glacier has in it to tell, neither of which I know from this conversation.
- cjensen 11y agoMy recollection: around 20GB... however, they clearly were willing to try to get some of it back if that was helpful. It was just a redundant offsite backup for me, so there was no need.
- EduardoBautista 11y agoWould have been interesting to see if they had been able to.
- pdabbadabba 11y agoWho knows. Maybe his is the last data Glacier will lose in the next [suitably large number] years. That's bad luck, buddy!
- megablast 11y agoI too choose to extrapolate all my losses over the next 100 billion years.
- bbcbasic 11y agoNot now they have fixed the bug.
