Uh, who has the money to store backups in AWS?!
- nathants 1y agoDepends how big they are. My high value backups go into S3, R2, and a local x3 disk mirror[1]. My low value backups go into a cheap usb hdd from Best Buy. 1. https://github.com/nathants/mirror https://github.com/nathants/mirror
- seized 1y agoGlacier Deep Archive is the cheapest cloud backup option at $1USD/month/TB. Google Cloud Store Archive Tier is a tiny bit more.
- mananaysiempre 1y agoBoth would be pretty expensive to actually restore from, though, IIRC.
- fc417fc802 1y agoQuite expensive, but it should only ever be a last resort after your local backups have all failed in some way or another. For $1/mo/TB you purchase the opportunity to pay an exorbitant amount to recover from an otherwise catastrophic situation.
- Ferret7446 1y agoIf you don't test your backups, they don't exist.
- seized 1y agoThere is a free tier that accounts for testing, first 100GB of transfer out of AWS per month is free.
- seized 1y agoYes, about $90USD per TB. But I weigh that against data recovery from failed disks and the loss of the data I put in Glacier (family photos/etc). Then its dirt cheap.
- ikiris 1y agoTo quote the old mongodb video: If you don't care about restores, /dev/null is even cheaper, and its webscale.
- PunchyHamster 1y agoSupport for S3 means you can just have minio server somewhere acting as backup storage (and minio is pretty easy to replicate). I have local S3 on my NAS replicated to cheapo OVH serwer for backup
