Have fun paying a fortune if you need to get those files again.

  If you need all of them, and can wait 5-12 hours, that appears to be free to request and transfer? Or am I misreading[0]? [0] https://aws.amazon.com/s3/glacier/pricing/#Retrieval_request_pricing https://aws.amazon.com/s3/glacier/pricing/#Retrieval_request... <- under "Bulk"

    Free retrieval pricing, but not free transfer. Transfer is starting at $0.09 per GB :-)

      Aaaah I see : - ) still, if it's only very occasional "do you remember that photo?" queries, that shouldn't add up to any significant cost. But a full retrieval - yeah. Interesting how the price ramps up!

    This does not include data transfer pricing: https://aws.amazon.com/de/s3/glacier/pricing/#Data_transfer_pricing https://aws.amazon.com/de/s3/glacier/pricing/#Data_transfer_...

  For "expedited" retrieval it is $0.01 per request plus $0.03 per GB. Doesn't seem like a fortune. And there are retrieval options for 1/10th the cost.

      The exact same as transfer out of normal S3? Don't get me wrong, I am as big of an AWS pessimist as one is likely to stumble across. I guess I could reinterpret your original comment as "Have fun paying a fortune if you need to get those files [out of AWS] again." instead of my original interpretation "Have fun paying a fortune if you need to get those files [out of Glacier] again." Agree!
