A different usage model, but one that might actually be more suitable and do some of your work for you, hence be worth the higher cost:

Not everyone is a fan, some are real fans, but you need to assess it for yourself. You may think the additional features are not worth the additional cost, but they might be.

I can offer no advice about the specific question you are asking, as having done the risk analysis and usage cases I do my own backups on 4TB disks that I handle myself.



That's 256$/Tb/month for storage and 256$/Tb for retrieval.

I plan to do encryption on my end as it's easy to encrypt with 7z using AES-256, it can also encrypt the filenames.

Thanks, but this is online backups for mutable data and my use case is cold backups for immutable data.


I figured that your use case was sufficiently different that it wouldn't be your choice, but I thought it worth mentioning to give you something against which to compare other options.

Good luck with the search - do blog about the search and your chosen solution, then submit that here.
