EDIT: I checked your tool. It's a 1000 bucks to restore 4 TB in 48 hours. If the house burns down, insurance will cover that. I guess now I know I gotta check those drives a bit more.
What? This tool is exceptionally out of date. Retrieval cost is $30/TB at the high end, and for glacier deep archive and a 48 hour window it only costs $2.50/TB. (Plus a few cents per thousand requests, so maybe don't use tiny objects.)
Glacier's percentage-rate-based retrieval pricing was only active from 2012-2016.
The bandwidth charge of $90/TB is still accurate. Though there are ways to reduce it.
Why use closed source crypto for money when free software that can be reviewed is available gratis? There are much better options.
It’s worse than this. The private key for data decryption is sent to their server by the installer before you can even set a PEK. Then, setting the PEK sends the password to them too, since that’s where your private key is stored. So you have to take their word not just that they never store the key and promptly delete unencrypted files during restoration, but also that they destroy the unprotected private key and password when you set up PEK. It’s a terrible scheme that seems almost deliberately designed to lull people into a false sense of security.
