Say I have 10TB or so of ZFS storage, and I generate roughly 1GB/day of
incremental ZFS snapshots from my backup system.

I had been ferrying those snapshots to work, but post Covid I probably
won't even have a desk anymore.  But my NBN is such that I should be able
to transfer the initial backup in 10 days and the subsequent incrementals
in a couple of minutes to the "cloud".

In the exceedingly rare chance[1] my local copies fail, I don't care that
it would take 12 hours to retrieve those remote pools from deep storage to
regular S3 storage and then 10 days back to my local disks.  I just want
the data, and for it not to cost the rates that I had heard Amazon charge
to get data back out of the cloud.  To be economical, retrieving this
storage shouldn't cost more than the couple of hundred bucks it would have
cost just to buy more local disks and wack em in my admitedly full storage
array.


But this seems exceedingly cheap:

I've never dealt with AWS (or backblaze or anyone else).
What am I missing?  What total charges do I need to consider for ingress,
storage, access and egress?


[1] However my storage array decided to have 3 unhealthy 7 year old drives
last month simultaneously - all fortunately in different pools.
