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!

    There are 3 main reasons (in my particular scenario) that might prompt me to go for the cloud:

    1. Reliability of infrastructure.
    2. Convenience.
    3. (Supposed) Bitrot protection (I won’t have the protection, just the detection, since I’ll be using standalone drives with ZFS).

    I need to think a bit more. Thanks!
