Hi everyone. I was considering backup options to Glacier Deep Archive, and wanted to know:

  1. Which software do you use to encrypt client-side, obfuscate, compress and deduplicate the data before you send it to S3?
  2. What is the difference between Restore Requests (bulk) and Outbound data transfer and which one will I be using when I want to pull my data from AWS?

I’ll be storing approximately 8TB or so of data, which is why I was looking at inexpensive ways to back it up other than buying an HDD outright.

Thanks!

    Recently I looked into the same thing, since AWS caught my eye with their apparently ridiculously low prices. Then I found this (presumably indepdenant) review, that changed my view on things: https://b3n.org/b2-vs-s3-nas-backup/

    After reading that, I won’t go with AWS. I’m currently considering to abuse the OneDrive Office Family plan, which costs 99 $ a year for 6 TB of storage (split across 6 accounts), which comes down to 1,40 $ per month per TB. A price that I have not seen beaten by other storage / backup providers.
