I don't really want minimum retention period of a year because then I'll feel very locked-in.Įgress fees: I don't care so much about network egress fees because I think the risk of me losing this data locally is pretty low, about <10% each year. But I probably want to start thinning backups out after 90 days, and delete altogether after a year. I'm happy to keep the backups for at least 90 days. I want backups to be quick, so they should probably have an Australian region.
What I care about: I have about 1TB to back up. Some providers have 'minimum retentions' where you have to pay for at least 1, 3, 6, or 12 months of storage.
There's usually storage fees (per GB per month), sometimes 'restore fees' if it's in deep storage, and sometimes network egress fees when you want to get your data back out onto the public internet. The pricing is fairly tricky to work out. I chose which cloud backup software I'd use (winner: Duplicacy), but where should I upload my backups to? There are lots of blob storage providers. After I lost a hard drive to (possibly) a lightning storm, I re-evaluated my backup strategy.
