Both would be pretty expensive to actually restore from, though, IIRC.



Quite 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.


If you don't test your backups, they don't exist.


There is a free tier that accounts for testing, first 100GB of transfer out of AWS per month is free.


Yes, 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.
