I use AWS Glacier w/ FastGlacier app. It's good for backups that you're unlikely to need (cheap to store, the cost comes to retrieve).

Thanks, however very confused by retrieval costs. I've sent them a support request and shall see what happens.

Also I try to minimise the amount of my money I give to Amazon.

https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/pricing/

It's priced based on how quick you need the data. Let's say you have a HDD failure and want your stuff back but you don't need it immediately, just look at the Bulk pricing.

For the EU region
$0.0025 per GB
$0.0275 per 1,000 requests

So you pay for the amount and the number of files.

It's not going to add up to much for a home user.

I like AWS so I'm happy for them to take the whole $3 or whatever it was to backup my stuff.
