Arq has a fantastic Glacier restore mechanism. You select a transfer rate with a slider, and it informs you how much it will cost and how long it will take to retrieve. It optimizes this with an every-four-hours sequencing as well. See https://www.arqbackup.com/documentation/pages/restoring_from_glacier.html https://www.arqbackup.com/documentation/pages/restoring_from... for reference.
- copperx 11y agoIt's unfortunate that Arq forces you to archive in their proprietary format. That locks you in to the tool.
- TkTech 11y agoNo it doesn't. They've had an open-source CLI tool since at least 2013. https://github.com/sreitshamer/arq_restore https://github.com/sreitshamer/arq_restore
- asymptotic 11y agoI was also concerned about this when I was looking into Arq, so I wrote a cross-platform restoration tool that'll also work on Windows and Linux (not just Mac): https://github.com/asimihsan/arqinator https://github.com/asimihsan/arqinator This is purely based on the author's excellent description of the format in his arq_restore tool: https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt

- arcdigital 11y agoI just started using Arq, but it looks like the format is documented here https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt and there's some open source tools that can work with the format. https://github.com/asimihsan/arqinator https://github.com/asimihsan/arqinator and https://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/rsc/arq/arqfs https://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/rsc/arq/arqfs
