Have you checked the costs for restoring from Glacier?

It's not the backing up part that's expensive.

I would not be surprised if you decided to spend the dozen hours of your time after all.

AWS Glacier removed the retrieval pricing issue for most configurations, but the bandwidth costs are still there. You pay $ 90 to retrieve 1 TB.

The retrieval cost is less than 1 hour of my time and I expect less than 10% chance I'll ever need it.
