1) Push data to S3 and keep it there for 90 days. If I need something, it's there (testing, retrieval, etc).
2) After 90 days, allow the data to be moved to Glacier. At that point, the data is good to have but I wont need it any time soon.
It is really about risk management. How often and how far back you need to pull data? A good strategy is required to minimize risk.
Glacier is for cold storage only. You should not expect to retrieve data from Glacier unless it is absolutely necessary. I think the pricing is justified but some use it incorrectly.
