However, assuming I'm doing Amazon's complicated pricing math correctly, in the event of a full recovery, getting all of my data out of B2 would be $10. Glacier Deep Archive would be $1.80/month just for the storage. Just specifically talking about my photos/videos (not my actual computer backups which I do use Arq for).ī2 currently costs me $5/month.

I've looked into Glacier previously, but stick with B2 for a few reasons. And then I thought my answer might be interesting to others as well. I started to reply directly, but then like everything I write, it kept growing. Nice article on photos backup! Have you considered amazon S3 glacier instead of B2? It should be cheaper and work with Arq, can I ask why you prefer B2? A reader sent me the following question this morning:

Note 2: for Minio access key, use the keyID, and for Minio Secret key, use the applicationKey.This is a quick followup to my post from this week about backing up my family's photos and home videos with Google Photos and B2. Note 1: for the endpoint URL, use the s3 URL from earlier, but without your bucket name as a prefix. If you're following the Mastodon installer, when it asks the question about S3 storage, say 'yes' and choose the Minio option. Now we're ready to tell Mastodon to use this new bucket! For 'type of access' choose 'Read and Write', and leave the other 2 fields blank. Give it a name, and choose your bucket from the dropdown. On the menu, choose 'App Keys' and scroll down to 'Add a New Application Key'. The last step in the Backblaze account is creating an app key. Make a note of the s3 URL - it will be in the format of yourbucketname.s3-endpoint-url Create an API Key Once uploaded, click on the filename and you'll be shown various URLs. We're uploading a file here (doesn't matter what) to confirm the enpdoint URL. On the left menu, go to 'Browse Files', click your bucket name and choose 'Upload'. Object Lock: Disable (unless you specifically want this).Name the bucket (something unique across the Backblaze systems - for the purposes of this demo, I called mine 'testbits').
