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 use idrive e2. When I did the math it’s yearly up front cost works out what deep archive is without an egress fee and it’s quicker. In the fine print there is a fair use policy on downloads but I think it’s 5x the storage amount.

Deep archive storage alone without puts is $24 TB year. idrive is $15 first year $30 subsequent. But it behaves more like s3 standard instant retrieval which is much more expensive.

Small company but have been around a long time now.

Yep, iDrive is the way to go, before they raised their prices I got 50 TB for a year for $500. I moved everything back locally, now I’m just going to use them for off-site backups. You can’t beat $15 for 1 TB for a year.

I went with iDrive e2 https://www.idrive.com/s3-storage-e2/ 5 TB is 150$/year (50% off first year) for S3-compatible storage. My favorite part is that there are no per-request, ingress or egress costs. That cost is all there is.

5 TB for $150 seems awfully high (didn’t click the link). I’m on my first year (and did it before they doubled their first year prices) and I got 50 TB for $500.

1 TB is $15 for the first year.

I’m pretty happy with Hetzner Storage Box at around 2 euro/month/TB with no bandwidth fees.

Do they offer multi-region storage boxes? Hetzner is definitely a name I can trust (at the moment), I’m interested

Two locations in Germany and maybe one in Finland iirc. Check their website to be sure. None outside Europe for now.

I see that. It seems I’d have to set up replication myself, but that seems doable. Thanks

You could ask on lowendspirit.com for other cheap storage. Yeah Storage Box is mostly raw storage with RAID-6 but no automatic replication or backup. The somewhat.more expensive Storage Cloud product is backed up nightly.
