[Repost] Reliable alternatives to AWS Deep Glacier for ~5TB? (lemmy.world)

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!

BuyVM has $24s/yr KVM server that you can attach storage at $5/TB/mn. So 5TB should set you back $325/yr all in. They’ve been around for quite some time — I’ve been client since 2011 — so they’re not likely to disappear anytime soon.

Do they offer multi-region replication of storage? This stuff is fairly important to me and I've not exactly heard of BuyVM in the same league for Cloud storage providers like AWS, BackBlaze and Cloudflare

No multi-region unless you roll it yourself. Their offerings are primarily web hosting centric, so you’d need to do the heavy lifting yourself if you want more infra. Also worth noting that they're definitely not in the same league as the big players, they’re just an old vendor that isn’t likely to disappear on you.
