Hi everyone,

As always, every time I look at the AWS Glacier egress fee calculator I get fairly irked at how much they charge. Was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives for cold storage in the cloud without such egregious charges. I will likely not access it ever because I have another offset backup, but just in case I do, I wouldn’t want to fork over thousands, really.

I don’t know how reliable Scaleway’s service is, and Cloudflare’s R2 doesn’t have a Archive offering. I would be interested in the Azure if anyone can convince me that I won’t go bankrupt trying to retrieve my data from them. I don’t want to go with Google with the recent stuff they have been doing with data on their servers.

Thanks!

    Don’t use them as the only storage maybe. There’s stories about Hetzner flagging accounts for false positives and they basically offer zero recourse. They close everything related to the account and cut all communication.
