[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!

I also had a bad experience where I had a test website under a megabyte in a storage bucket. It was under the free tier and sat there for a few years. Then one month they sent me a bill (it was small, a handful of cents). Contact support saying that this use is under the free tier. They said that data was added then removed from the bucket. I hadn't logged into the account, no living API keys. They wouldn't forgive the charge.

Luckily my credit card had expired so they just locked my account.
