Is there a less expensive alternative for Cloud storage with a decent SLA? I don’t want to go for the smaller companies, and BackBlaze is quite expensive too!
I plugged in my numbers into AWS, and I’m looking at $9 a month for storage with $21 for a bulk retrieval. That’s quite inexpensive, which is why I’m starting to think that I’m missing something important

idrive was good when I used them.
With my Synology NAS, I use icloud e2 for cloud storage. Reasonably priced, and it integrates with Synology’s Hyperbackup software.
But my needs are relatively small, sending < 5TB to my cloud backup. A few more TB and I may start looking at other options.

Scaleway also offers glacier storage class. ~€0.002/GB/month. €0.009/GB retrieval. €0.01/GB transfer.
What other options? I was looking at hezner storage box and it seems pretty reasonable for storage, about $13 for 5 tb
I’m not at the “other options yet” as my idrive will review for another year in a week or so.
At some point, it may be cheaper if I set up a small NAS as a family member’s house and stick an 8TB or 12TB drive in there.
Really, the cloud backup for me is the last resort, and I have other redundancies available well before I’d need to use a cloud backup.
