Why not mention this straight in your post: "Restore and download is quite costly: Restore from S3 tape to S3 blob: $0.0025/GiB ($2.56/TiB) for Bulk within 48

Why not mention this straight in your post:
"Restore and download is quite costly:
Restore from S3 tape to S3 blob:
$0.0025/GiB ($2.56/TiB) for Bulk within 48 hours
$0.02/GiB ($20.48/TiB) for Standard within 12 hours
Download: The first 100 GiB/month are free, then 10 TiB/Month for $0.09 per GiB ($92.16/TiB) and discounts for more."
TLDR if I read it correctly 2.56+92.16 USD to get your 1TB back home
Not that bad, but I feel like buying every half year 1TB drive for ~50USD and just storing it wherever outside your home would be cheaper option. But it depends how often you need to perform backup.
- Ekaros 4y agoIt is not that bad price, when home and place of your offline backup burned down and google or whoever locked your account.
- mnw21cam 4y agoOr if you're willing to dribble the data back home at a rate of 100GiB/month then it's $2.56/TiB.
- laundermaf 4y agoDo you really want to spend 10 months retrieving that data? I don’t think there's a single real-life scenario where you do need data, just not this year. So $2.56/TiB is unattainable.
- quickthrower2 4y agoAlso, the issue with waiting 10 months will be you now only have one copy - the one on S3 and you may lose that data. Not because of the 99.9 recurring % guarantee of course, but another fubar issue - like someone hacking into your account - or some fubar with the backup script - and now you have no backup of the backup. If you need the last resort backup, then you would probably want to revert to normal operations ASAP where you have the original and the first resort backup back in place!
