It still gets insane. I've got 6TB of content. That'll pay for a colocated Synology in about two months.

Ok, you're right, 14 cents/gb isn't that cheap, though still better than ec2 storage instances. That's... not what I'm paying.

Synology will interface natively with Glacier, but everybody hates it (it doesn't do a good job). You can trick it into running Crashplan, but I haven't had much success (and backing up 6TB via cable modem is a drag). I'll probably buy another box, seed it locally and then try and use RSync over VPN to get it to update the distant from the local but I'm not there yet.

After all, if the box does take a shit I'm going to want to be able to restore now, not at 10MBPS.
