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!

      I'm using it too and even the current prices are reasonable (especially if you consider there's no other fees, no transfer, no ingress, no egress, …). If you put it in S3 glacier and you ever have to restore a relevant chunk of your data (or god forbid, want to do periodic testing of the backed up data) then you'll be paying quite a bit of fees.
