Questions on backing up to S3 Glacier Deep Archive. (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone. I was considering backup options to Glacier Deep Archive, and wanted to know:

Which software do you use to encrypt client-side, obfuscate, compress and deduplicate the data before you send it to S3?
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!

That class of storage is very expensive to get your data back. Buying a drive will be cheaper.

Wait, I'm looking at the data retrieval cost (bulk request) and it says it's priced at $0.0025 per GB? That comes out to about $21 for a retrieval! Am i missing something important?

Take a look at the calculations here https://www.arqbackup.com/aws-glacier-pricing.html

It explains it a bit better. You have to factor in how many requests you need too. So both file sizes and amount of files.
