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!

      If I were to pay $50 a month for 8TB, I’d have paid about $200 in 4 months. I can get a 10TB-12TB external drive (with Ironwolf/WD Red Pro CMR inside) for about $200.

      I should have worded that properly, apologies.

        No worries, I should have realized it’s a recurring payment. Yes, at this rate you’ll make up the cost of the HDD in 2-3 months.
