- rsstack 4y ago3-2-1 rule for backups: 3 copies, 2 different physical mediums on the same site (if you're on AWS, they handle that for you), 1 off-site (NOT AWS). This is the minimum for a data backup to count as "backup", not the maximum. Backup your AWS data, backup your Google data (Gmail, Drive, and GCP), backup your on-prem data (to the cloud, or a different building), etc.

Personally I've seen AWS's S3 Glacier commonly recommended including in Ask HN or Reddit's data hoarder sub. Therefore, that is a good answer: It is a popular data storage solution. Now back to OP's actual issue...
