25 TB is about $130/mo on backblaze b2.
(Not $13/mo as I originally posted)
Edit: GIGO math error. Their website said $0.005/gb, not $0.0005 as I based my calculation on.

Thanks! I used b2 before but it didn’t work well (or at all actually; it kept failing). This was years ago; I assume they improved so I will try again!
Edit; I knew I checked before; the pricing on b2 seems much higher? Am I missing something?
I am paying now including the restore bandwidth. But 25TB seems 125$/mo and then you pay for downloading it?

I was wrong on the math, but I think b2 is great for online backups. Great to have "just in case" but not necessarily trusted to production just yet. I still have a lot of fondness for the team and products based on their open source designs for the storage pods.

From the B2 calculator, it's like 1500/year, how can you achieve such price?

Do you have a source for this? B2 calculator shows $125/month for me

Are you sure? I get 1500$/year and that doesnt include bandwidth.

25TB would be ~$25/m with Glacier Deep Archive

Yes, but you incur traffic costs as well when you send to/from AWS right? I don't have that issue. Nor do I want it; I like AWS for what it does, but I want to be able to get away when I need to.
