We had full daily backups of our application stretching back to 2017, totaling six terabytes of cloud storage.
They got to the point where it cost $200/mo just so we could theoretically restore the application as it was on June 5, 2018.
I think deletion strategies will always be relevant from a “staying organized” standpoint, as well as cost.

- phantom784 3y agoIf it's important, you don't want to just write it to a hard drive and chuck it in a closet.
- WalterBright 3y agoTrue. Get two drives. One you chuck in a closet, the other you store off site.
- Dylan16807 3y agoEven if you specifically want to keep it in cloud storage, cold storage tiers would cost $6/mo. This is not an example where you need to delete. If the value is zero, go ahead, but it's sustainable to keep that data around.
