After looking that up I've decided it's far cheaper to upload my data to S3 with maximum data center redundancy, fund my AWS account with a big enough balance to be able to pay for a decade of service, and give my keys to people I trust.
- vbezhenar 7y agoYou should not put all eggs into one basket. Amazon might ban your account any day and you'll end up with no data. Or your data might lost because of some bug. There's Google coldline, there's online.net C13, they have similar price. Use at least 2 different providers.

Azure apparently has an "archive" tier for 0.1c, which you can lower even further with long-term high-volume reservation: if you reserve 1PB for 3 years it's 0.081c/GB/mo (using only local redundancy) in the cheapest DCs where it's available (some DCs either don't have that feature at all, or it's way more expensive e.g. 0.1636 in asian DCs where it's available).
