This service already exists for a very long time. I have been using it for many years with https://www.arqbackup.com https://www.arqbackup.com as a fallback for my TimeMachine and Backblaze backup. Google also offers a very similar service as Glacier called Coldline: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes#coldline https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes#coldli...
- mrich 4y agoArq does not seem to be in the same ballpark as Deep Archive with regards to pricing. Also I needed a Linux solution, they support Win/Mac only unfortunately (same as Backblaze).
- dewey 4y agoArq is a GUI client that stores your backups in the location you set it up for. See screenshot in the "Back up to your own cloud account." section on https://www.arqbackup.com https://www.arqbackup.com.
- sreitshamer 4y agoI'm confused by this comment. Arq can store your backups in your own AWS account, using Glacier Deep Archive storage class. It's your own AWS account, so you pay exactly the Deep Archive price.
- mrich 4y agoI understand, didn't see this mentioned on the pricing page directly. How do they store the data in Deep Glacier (single files or archives? the former would be very expensive?) Do they have restore fully integrated? (since this is a two-step process that takes 12+ hours I could imagine it does not fit the normal flow)
- sreitshamer 4y agoArq stores the data in content-addressable format. Arq's data format is documented here: https://www.arqbackup.com/documentation/arq7/English.lproj/dataFormat.html https://www.arqbackup.com/documentation/arq7/English.lproj/d... Arq manages the restore process, telling AWS to make Glacier/Deep Archive objects "downloadable", waiting for them to become downloadable, and then downloading the data.
