Deep Archive is super cost effective, $1/TB/mo. For the house-burns-down scenario, I don't mind the 24hr retrieval time
I use a Windows free tool called FastGlacier. I set up an IAM user on my AWS account for my backups, and use those creds to login. Then it's drag and drop! You can even use FastGlacier to encrypt/decrypt on the fly as you upload and download.
Glacier is cheap because the retrieval times are very slow - something like 1-12 hours depending on the tier.
I have about 100GB of critical data. Personal documents, photos and some music I don't want to have to search for if the house burns down. It's something like a dollar a month. Less than a cup of coffee.
