Why isn't anyone suggesting S3 glacier deep archive? Looks like about $6 per month for 6TB. Sure it'll cost $540 to pull it out, but that should be a one time t

  Yeah I keep Glacier as an extra redundancy step to have another copy of my important data on a different continent. Glacier shouldn't even be your redundancy solution, it should be the redundancy of your redundancy :) Like you're alluding, if you actually need to pull the data out of glacier, you've probably screwed up in the design/testing of your primary backup systems, but we're all fallible so it's an insurance policy.
