@scottalanmiller This still seems very cheap to me.
Let's say I am using this plan:
0_1457630913449_2016-03-10 12_27_04-Deploy Servers - Vultr.com.png
This plan includes almost 1TB of Bandwifth. So even if I filled the server completely, and did a full backup, I would use 250GB of bandwidth leaving me 750GB for the rest of the month.....
Amazon doesn't charge for uploading, only downloading.... 125GB is $3.75
What I am missing?
I'm not sure what you are asking. But to me you've answered the question, so I'm not sure what you are missing. But if you were to use S3 to back up a 125GB instance that only costs $5 and, say, restored twice (which is nothing) your backup would cost more than the entire service does, a lot more. And you'd likely be unhappy if your backups used your bandwidth. So doesn't that totally explain why backups of this nature are not included in the $5? Vultr could not possibly afford to offer this.
