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!

    What other options? I was looking at hezner storage box and it seems pretty reasonable for storage, about $13 for 5 tb

      I’m not at the “other options yet” as my idrive will review for another year in a week or so.

      At some point, it may be cheaper if I set up a small NAS as a family member’s house and stick an 8TB or 12TB drive in there.

      Really, the cloud backup for me is the last resort, and I have other redundancies available well before I’d need to use a cloud backup.
