Interesting to note - those of us who used Iron Mountain/Data Safe for years - 4 Hours was considered a "Premier Rapid Recovery" service that we paid a lot of money for (as recently as 2003, actually).
In a true disaster recovery (Building burned down or is otherwise unavailable) - it usually takes most businesses a week or so just to find new office facilities.
But - agreed, there will be some customers for whom Glacier wouldn't work well for all use cases.
Now - a blended S3/Glacier offering might be very attractive.
- speleding 14y agoYes, that's what I am thinking: a week of backups to S3 and a script that does moves the oldest one from S3 to Glacier. You would rarely need a backup older than a week if you've already got a week of backups. I'm still figuring out if there is a practical way to do this with incremental backups without introducing to much risk that the backup process gets messed up.
