Number of files could be a stickler with literally millions of audio files and associated xmls etc (games and sound design work).
Guess I could archive into blocks before uploading, but then I won't be able to keep synced easily.
Jezston-
~$275 to retrieve 10 million files. Depending on which storage option you choose you might only need to use Glacier for a year before it's paid itself off. I'm working on the assumption that Glacier backups are unlikely ever to be needed but important that they are available if you do need them. It's data insurance with low ongoing costs.

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.
