Having to restore my media server without a backup would cost me around a dozen hours of my time. 2 bucks a month to back up to Glacier with rclone’s crypt backend is easily worth it.
How are you hitting that pricing? S3 "Glacier Deep Archive"?
Standard S3 is $23/TB/mo. Backblaze B2 is $6/TB/mo. S3 Glacier Instant or Flexible Retrieval is about $4/TB/mo. S3 Glacier Deep Archive is about $1/TB/mo.
I take it you have ~2TB in deep archive? I have 5TB in Backblaze and I've been meaning to prune it way down.
Edit: these are raw storage costs and I neglected transfer. Very curious as my sibling comment mentioned it.
Yup, deep archive on <2TB, which is more content than most people watch in a lifetime. I mostly store content in 1080p as my vision is not good enough to notice the improvement at 4K.
> more content than most people watch in a lifetime
The average person watches more than 3 hours of TV/video per day, and 1 gigabyte per hour is on the low end of 1080p quality. Multiply those together and you'd need 1TB per year. 5TB per year of higher quality 1080p wouldn't be an outlier.
"In a survey conducted in India in January 2022, respondents of age 56 years and above spent the most time watching television, at an average of over three hours per day."
For china I'm seeing a bit over two and a half hours of TV in 2009, and more recently a bit over one and a half hours TV plus a bit over half an hour of streaming.
Yes it includes ads, sports, and news.
Personally I don't watch a lot of actual TV but I have youtube or twitch on half the time.
