[edit: figures were wildly off] By definition, it's already the second copy of my data (since it's a backup). For the price of S3 (~$5500/yr, not even including bandwidth), I could colocate 7 RAIDed NASes ($700 NAS, 4-year life, $50/month colocation fee). If me and a couple of friends agree to exchange NASes to save on colocation fees, I could have 31 NASes for the price of S3. For maybe 50% the price of S3, I could colocate a Backblaze pod and have 67TB of data storage, 22x my need.
