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: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/03/S3-glacier-deep-archive/ 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. -- Tim Connors _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
