The data that is not being backed up to the cloud is stuff like media files (movies, TV series, app downloads and so on). So, if I need to restore my data, I am able to restore my important data using an external drive without the need to recover several TBs from the cloud. Those backup drives are being rotated and stored off-site. My NAS does everything that is necessary and I have used the versioning system more than once.Īpart from the cloud backup there is a weekly local backup of all my data. I am fine with its price given my storage needs. About 600 GB are important to me (personal data, photos, personal home videos and stuff like that) and worthy of being backed up to the cloud on a daily basis. Apparently, it is the only option that is affordable if you have a huge amount of data (apart from “all you can eat” solutions that are on the way out IMHO).

I was not aware of this Deep Archive option. Right now the least expensive pay as you go plan that I’ve found is Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive
