Egress is free as long as it is "reasonable", meaning that you don't send out more than you store each month (or whatever other definition of reasonable Wasabi decides). So you can't use it to host a busy web site for example, or to create a download site. Not sure how they handle "unreasonable" egress. I've been told they cancel the account, but maybe they just add egress charges to the account.
Also, there is a $5.99/mo minimum charge as long as your account is open that covers up to 1TB of storage.
- icedchai 5y agoI only use them to backup my home network and a couple VPSes so the $5.99/mo minimum is fine for me. I use restic for the backups. I tried BackBlaze B2 and it worked incredibly slowly with restic. Not sure what the problem was.
- prirun 5y agoTry HashBackup sometime (I'm the author). :-) I backup a couple of machines from home on a 20Mbps down/1.2Mbps up connection to B2 and have never had any trouble with it. The dev server I backup is around 80GB, has a few VMs I use to build HashBackup on different platforms, and takes around 45 minutes to backup, with most of that time waiting for my slow-ass Internet connection. My last retain/prune took 20 minutes, including repacking 22 remote files. The other nice thing about B2 is they give you a daily 1GB egress allowance, and HashBackup uses that to recover wasted space from deleted files. They bill me $0.53 every couple of months: 25 cents/mo for storage and 2 cents/mo for egress. Can't beat it!
