 @SiteRelEnby yeah... a long time ago we stored backups in AWS glacier. it was at a period in our life before we achieved financial stability, and at one point we were unable to pay the bill for a few months. we're sure the backups still physically exist (destroying them would cost money), but for practical purposes they are now permanently irretrievable. 4 comments
@SiteRelEnby also the originals they were backups of were destroyed during that same period, for reasons that shared a cause with it, so it's "real" data loss for us. @SiteRelEnby also over the next few years we're intending to accumulate, like, web scrapes and things of similar size, and even just the transfer cost for that would be prohibitive, so that's why we've been looking into very-high-volume removable media for our cold storage. @SiteRelEnby but yeah tier 1 is definitely going to be a RAID connected by SAN to our servers that we're going to have at some point, heh :) |

@SiteRelEnby so it really depends on your threat model
