Questions on backing up to S3 Glacier Deep Archive. (self.selfhosted)

submitted 11 months ago by MigratingtoLemmy to c/selfhosted

Hi everyone. I was considering backup options to Glacier Deep Archive, and wanted to know:

Which software do you use to encrypt client-side, obfuscate, compress and deduplicate the data before you send it to S3?
What is the difference between Restore Requests (bulk) and Outbound data transfer and which one will I be using when I want to pull my data from AWS?

I'll be storing approximately 8TB or so of data, which is why I was looking at inexpensive ways to back it up other than buying an HDD outright.

Thanks!

There are 3 main reasons (in my particular scenario) that might prompt me to go for the cloud:

Reliability of infrastructure.
Convenience.
(Supposed) Bitrot protection (I won't have the protection, just the detection, since I'll be using standalone drives with ZFS).

I need to think a bit more. Thanks!
