Hi everyone,

As always, every time I look at the AWS Glacier egress fee calculator I get fairly irked at how much they charge. Was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives for cold storage in the cloud without such egregious charges. I will likely not access it ever because I have another offset backup, but just in case I do, I wouldn't want to fork over thousands, really.

I don't know how reliable Scaleway's service is, and Cloudflare's R2 doesn't have a Archive offering. I would be interested in the Azure if anyone can convince me that I won't go bankrupt trying to retrieve my data from them. I don't want to go with Google with the recent stuff they have been doing with data on their servers.

Thanks!

Does Backblaze work for what you are doing? It been a bit since I've price compared them, but I think it was something around 5$ a month per TB?

I'm using BackBlaze B2 already, this is for a backup for B2

Then I wouldn't worry about it. The point of Glacier is for stuff that you'll probably never need, but are willing to pay a hefty fee if it comes down to it.

You know b2 has multi region replication now, right?

Two regions of one provider isn't really a reliable backup. What if the provider goes out of business, hacked, closes your account or has a software bug that affects all of their storage.

I don't want B2 to be my only backup, but $600-$900 to retrieve data is a bit too much. That's why I'm looking for alternatives
