Questions on backing up to S3 Glacier Deep Archive. (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone. I was considering backup options to Glacier Deep Archive, and wanted to know:

  1. Which software do you use to encrypt client-side, obfuscate, compress and deduplicate the data before you send it to S3?
  2. What is the difference between Restore Requests (bulk) and Outbound data transfer and which one will I be using when I want to pull my data from AWS?

I'll be storing approximately 8TB or so of data, which is why I was looking at inexpensive ways to back it up other than buying an HDD outright.

Thanks!

I think that people would be using the service as a last resort, like when all other local or physical offsite backups fail.

In that sense, the cost to recover shouldn't be the main factor when considering it.

Is there a less expensive alternative for Cloud storage with a decent SLA? I don't want to go for the smaller companies, and BackBlaze is quite expensive too!

With my Synology NAS, I use icloud e2 for cloud storage. Reasonably priced, and it integrates with Synology's Hyperbackup software.

But my needs are relatively small, sending < 5TB to my cloud backup. A few more TB and I may start looking at other options.

I plugged in my numbers into AWS, and I'm looking at $9 a month for storage with $21 for a bulk retrieval. That's quite inexpensive, which is why I'm starting to think that I'm missing something important

Scaleway also offers glacier storage class. ~€0.002/GB/month. €0.009/GB retrieval. €0.01/GB transfer.

What other options? I was looking at hezner storage box and it seems pretty reasonable for storage, about $13 for 5 tb

I'm not at the "other options yet" as my idrive will review for another year in a week or so.

At some point, it may be cheaper if I set up a small NAS as a family member's house and stick an 8TB or 12TB drive in there.

Really, the cloud backup for me is the last resort, and I have other redundancies available well before I'd need to use a cloud backup.

idrive was good when I used them.
