wasabi.com might be worth looking into. $.0049 per GB/month, no egress charges.

That's roughly $5/month for 1TB, which probably beats doing this on a VPS.

Thanks, hadn't heard of Wasabi before. The storage pricing is comparable with B2, but no egress charges is nice. Any have experience with this provider?

So after reading their pricing FAQ, it looks like you are billed for a minimum of 1TB, and every file is billed for 90 days minimum.

Based on their calculations, if you plan on storing files for more 16 days, it will be marginally cheaper than S3, but if you plan on keeping files around longer than 90 days, it is ~5x cheaper than S3.

Interesting, in that case, it likely makes a wasabi a good choice for Arq (https://wasabi-support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1150015...)

I only recently learned of wasabi (I think it was Leo Laporte's Twit podcast)...and beyond the nicer price points, seems to be compatible with AWS...so, if i read things right, one could somewhat/more easily switch between aws and wasabi - avoiding the dreaded vendor lock. If that's true, that's pretty neat.

Disclaimer: i have no direct experience with wasabi, nor am i affiliated with them at all.

The S3 api has become a bit of an informal standard. You can even host your own with something like Minio.
