100GB for 30 years - €399 (~$550) on Longaccess vs $360 (plus retrieval cost) on Glacier.
Who would you trust?
Who would you trust?
- making the use of Glacier friendlier to the average user
- providing a well defined way of accessing the data (retrieval, decryption, etc.). This is very useful if, for example, you want the files to be retrieved by your children in a couple of decades
- making a commitment to take care of the data for decades: if Amazon decides in 10 years that they are no longer interested in being in this business, we will move the data to an alternative provider, but nothing will change for our users.
Disclaimer: I'm the founder of Longaccess.
We just use a reliable technology. AFAIK Amazon is not in the business of preserving data for decades, but they are great at storing data. On the other hand, Longaccess' business is to preserve private data for decades, and using the best underlying technologies and services at each given point in time to do so.
