Personally I've factored that in to my cost of recovery. It's going to cost me about £120 to restore my data over the course of a week. It depends on your use case but for me - in the event that glacier is the last point I can get my data from, £120 is a small price to pay to get it back. I used backblaze before and it was about the same to get them to post out a hdd (which was an awesome service on the one occasion I had to use it).

Its not for "I may need this file next week" (thats what your local NAS / Time Machine is for...Glacier is for "what happens if this place burns down". At that point a week and £120 is not high on the list of your concerns...
