Unfortunately my data is not going to compress or deduplicate, and while under a terabyte currently, I'm using 1000GB as the benchmark amount. With tarsnap I'd be looking at $250/month, or $3000/year, excluding transfer fees. Glacier, for the same amount, would be $10/month, or $120/year, excluding transfer fees. It's hard to beat that price! > Or if you don't care about their service, you might want to have a look on > their blog post > http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2012-09-04-why-tarsnap-doesnt-use-glacier.html For those who haven't read the article, it's perhaps best summarised by a comment from my original post, when I said that glacier works best with archives of files, rather than individual files. Thus you need a different approach than some backup systems take. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
