    Checkout AWS S3 “Deep Glacier Archive”. It’s perfect for data you only “read” in recovery events, since you have to wait up to 12 hours to retrieve the data. I backup my Plex this way.

      Based on their 100T of data the .00099 per GB pricing will have them spending $99 a month, or $1200 a year, for backup.

        You have to ask yourself if that’s worth it to you.

        For me? Yeah, I don’t want to rebuild these datasets.

          After a few years, it’d probably be cheaper to get a second NAS and store it at a friend/relative’s place.

        Yup, that’s why I don’t bother backing up media to places like S3 or B2, I only back up important stuff like family pictures and tax documents. Replacing my DVD or Bluray collection is feasible, it just costs time and money, but I can’t replace pictures and whatnot.
