https://www.tarsnap.com/ or if you really want to DIY move AWS S3 to Glacier Deep Archive at $0.00099 per GB/month

My original comment was going to read: "I really like tarsnap, and the pricing seems much worse than rsync. $0.25 / GB-month. For 500GB that would mean $125/mo, right?"

Looks like I am totally wrong!

The de-duplication says you can store terabytes for $10/mo. I'm glad you forced me to respond to your comment!

Heavily dependent on the amount of duplication you have in your data though, yes? Maybe you can work that out ahead of time?

Tarsnap would be very expensive for his use case
