I’m looking for a diskspace of possibly 1TB online
Edit: my idea is to use it like as an external harddisk for everyday stuff. Encrypt the disk, put my filesystem on it, mount it as external drive kinda. Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it
On AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive 1TB will cost you $1/month. I use it as one of my off-site backup solutions.
Careful recommending glacier. It is shockingly, crazy expensive to retrieve data.
How much will it cost to retrieve that backup though?
Around $120/TB from memory when I looked into it.
That’s too much for regular stuff, but if you’re using it to store your family photos and videos off-site in case of a fire etc, you’d pay it. Hmmm… I wonder whether you could get insurance to cover it?
I use it exactly for that. It’s a secondary, long term backup which I plan to hopefully never retrieve. It’s basically write-only for me and I hope it will remain that way. (Because if it’s not, I lost my on-site backup AND my primary cloud backup as well. So I’m probably very fucked.)
Especially if you forget to tar it.
