Wow yeah I just did the math again and they are! Tarnsap is 10x S3 prices? I know the service does a lot but I thought it was a small margin on top of plain object storage.

It's hard to price a backup service per byte when all the value comes from software. At the small end there's barely any profit, and at the big end the costs get ridiculous.

Yeah I don’t begin to understand the economics. I was just surprised at the difference.

I naively thought storage is cheap so backups are too.
