title: Backup: Amazon S3 or Glacier - lots of little files?
body: <p>I'm trying to understand the complicated Amazon Glacier pricing model. I don't want to store a huge amount of data, a few GB's say 10. I hope never to download the files and if I did need to I don't care how long it takes.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a cost per file I upload? Is it cheaper to zip lots of tiny files and upload in a few chunks or does 10,000 say images not matter? (cannot get a straight answer to this during searching)</p>
  
  <p>Am I able to request the download of a whole Archive/Bucket or is it file-by-file?</p>
