- mananaysiempre 1y agoBoth would be pretty expensive to actually restore from, though, IIRC.
- seized 1y agoYes, about $90USD per TB. But I weigh that against data recovery from failed disks and the loss of the data I put in Glacier (family photos/etc). Then its dirt cheap.
- fc417fc802 1y agoQuite expensive, but it should only ever be a last resort after your local backups have all failed in some way or another. For $1/mo/TB you purchase the opportunity to pay an exorbitant amount to recover from an otherwise catastrophic situation.
- Ferret7446 1y agoIf you don't test your backups, they don't exist.
- seized 1y agoThere is a free tier that accounts for testing, first 100GB of transfer out of AWS per month is free.
- ikiris 1y agoTo quote the old mongodb video: If you don't care about restores, /dev/null is even cheaper, and its webscale.
