AWS storage with S3 is $0.03/GB/Month. I have probably around 20 Gigabytes, stored in Singapore and US-East, versioned back 2+ years + another 58 Gigabytes in Personal Photos Backed up on Amazon Singapore (which I really should move to Glacier). It's compressed when stored on S3, so total storage is only 54 Gigabytes on Amazon Singapore, and 12 Gigabytes on Amazon-East.
I shoot a ton of pictures with my SLR, but, at the same time, I don't shoot raw, my camera is an EOS 10D (6.3 megapixel resolution) and I'm hyper aggressive about deleting all but the top 5% of my shots each day. I may shoot 300 pictures and keep 10-15.
So, I guess the major difference is I'm backing up about 78 Gigabytes of Data (though 20 of which is in two locations).
