Note that Arq with Glacier only is usually a mistake (as discovered by the poster below), since restores need to be requested and queued up, and take hours to come back with the results. Restores are also very expensive.
As an Arq user who used Glacier previously, I much rather recommend using Google Cloud Storage:
* Nearline restore is instantaneous;
* Storage per month is >30% cheaper [1];
* Recovering data from GCS is super cheap; about 3% (!) of equivalent Glacier costs.
For the super paranoid, GCS also has more expensive multi-region buckets.

- snarf 10y agoArq also supports Amazon Cloud Drive as a target, and if you're in the US, it's a flat $60 per year for unlimited storage.

- lobster_johnson 10y agoThere are some Terms of Service [1] items that might come and back and bite you (or not — who knows, they're a bit vague): The Service is offered in the United States. We may restrict access from other locations. There may be limits on the types of content you can store and share using the Service, such as file types we don't support, and on the number or type of devices you can use to access the Service. The fact that they "may restrict access from other locations" could be a problem when you travel.
