      Thanks wrx7m, but I was looking at Amazon Drive, not Glacier. I don't like S3 costs, nor Glaciers download costs. So I am between Amazon Drive, and BackBlaze B2. B2 allows them to send me a drive up to about 4tb for a small fee in the event of failure. Link also is an older version of DSM.

      This is for home, so I don't want to pay $100 a month.. Im more so looking for ideas to come up with the best backup/DR strategy.

        @smartkid808 Glacier is way cheaper than that - 2TB is $8.20 per month

          @wrx7m , thanks.. Yea, I saw that.. I'm just worried if I have to retrieve, i don't want to have to spend $500 to get it.. But I guess the likelihood would be slim. The pricing structure is just confusing (and scary). Amazon Drive I estimated @ $5 TB/month.

          How is the upload speed with Glacier?

          And I was being sarcastic with $100/month 🙂

            Glacier should be the cheapest option. Amazon Drive caps out at 1TB. Glacier is nearly free at that size.

              I like BackBlaze B2 a lot.

                For comparison....

                Amazon Drive is $5/mo for up to 1TB
                Amazon Glacier is Fifty CENTS per month for 1TB and you can go as big as you like.

                      Also, where you getting 50 cents from? I'm still getting about $4. $0.004/GB / Month..

                        Though requests from S3 and Glacier are expensive when restoring/retrieving and pulls down

                          $.004 x 1024 and round a little.

                            "Expensive" isn't an appropriate term there. Considering the average restore is something like once a decade, it's dirt cheap.

                              @scottalanmiller "Costly"? Worth the money for your data, I am assuming that's what you mean.

                                @scottalanmiller OK, Im getting .004*1024 = $4.10.. Am i missing something, or calculating wrong, or is it $.50/TB.

                                I am with you on recovery.. Hopefully its never, but even then, my current NAS that died is 7 years old, which I got for free from Drobo on SW..

                                @scottalanmiller, Have you used any of the Synology built in apps to back up to glacier?

                                    Seven years on an entry level consumer device is pretty good. The average lifespan of those is way under what you get from ReadyNAS or Synology or a SAM-SD. Move up to SMB Business class, and your average should hit 10+ years.

                                      Oops, bad math. Yes, $4.10. That makes more sense (cents.) Still, dirt cheap. If you need less than a TB, you pay less. And you get like 10GB free, too.

                                        I used it for years. Never had a problem.

                                          Now to figure out AWS Glacier security setup.. I think I got the base setup, just advanced security etc.
