For disaster recovery 3 days might mean the end of your business.

And at 3MB/s per TB it will always take over 3 days to retrieve all of your data. The 2-5 second retrieval latency is irrelevant when you're going to be waiting for 3 days...

There's no mention of durability numbers anywhere in the docs. S3 and Glacier mention 11 9s durability in their FAQ though.

At least with Glacier I get the option of retrieving faster. Nearline is going to take more than 3 DAYS to retrieve my data if I only have 1TB stored (3MB/s).

That would mean that if you had about 1TB stored it would take more than 3 days to retrieve it (with an initial 3 second delay before it starts).
