Hi everyone. I was considering backup options to Glacier Deep Archive, and wanted to know:
- Which software do you use to encrypt client-side, obfuscate, compress and deduplicate the data before you send it to S3?
- What is the difference between
Restore Requests (bulk)andOutbound data transferand 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!
Wait, I’m looking at the data retrieval cost (bulk request) and it says it’s priced at $0.0025 per GB? That comes out to about $21 for a retrieval! Am i missing something important?
Take a look at the calculations here https://www.arqbackup.com/aws-glacier-pricing.html
It explains it a bit better. You have to factor in how many requests you need too. So both file sizes and amount of files.
