Hi everyone. I was considering backup options to Glacier Deep Archive, and wanted to know:

  1. Which software do you use to encrypt client-side, obfuscate, compress and deduplicate the data before you send it to S3?
  2. What is the difference between Restore Requests (bulk) and Outbound data transfer and which one will I be using when I want to pull my data from AWS?

I’ll be storing approximately 8TB or so of data, which is why I was looking at inexpensive ways to back it up other than buying an HDD outright.

Thanks!

I have been recommended iDrive a lot under this post. How reliable are they?

Thanks. I was wondering about the reliability of data storage/infrastructure of iDrive specifically. For example, I’m fairly sure that I can keep my data in AWS Glacier/B2 for 10 years or so and nothing much would happen (Assuming Backblaze doesn’t just die). Can I assume that for iDrive? Is this an old company with many years in the business? For their offerings seem amazing, it’s just the perceived risk from lack of information that is holding me back.
