Arq (Mac backup) now works with Glacier
The OP quotes storing a terabyte a month as costing $10 on Glacier. I haven't done mass backup to S3...but I was almost expecting this to be the cost for a TB on S3, not on Glacier.<p>You can currently get a 3TB, USB 3.0 TB drive for as little as $120. At $10 a month to store 1TB on Glacier, you'll surpass that cost in a year.<p>I know Glacier data is likely more safe than moving your files to an external HD and then putting it in your safe deposit box...but the HD ends up being cheaper in the medium-term and far more flexible and faster. It's unlikely your house will burn down and all of your available backups...it's even less likely that that situation will happen and that this last-resort external HD will somehow also be lost, right?
