#6This is fantastic. I've long searched for a solution like that. This is really suitable for a remote backup that only needs to be accessed if something really bad happens (i.e. a fire breaking out, etc).

I'm often creating pretty big media assets, so Dropbox doesn't necessarily offer enough space or is - for me - too expensive in the 500gb version (i.e. $50 a month).
Glacier would be $10 a month for 1 terabyte. Fantastic.

#7I had a quick skim through the marketing stuff and the FAQs and didn't see anywhere that actually details what the backend of this is. I'd be curious if they're actually using tape, older machines, Backblaze pods, etc. I guess if it's the latter, the time to recover could be an artificial barrier to prevent people from getting cute.

Agreed - I'm really happy about this. I have a home NAS solution that is a few TB and it's too expensive to store on S3. This is perfect to prevent the "house burned down" scenario on very large storage devices!

Hm, that link was 404 as well until just a moment ago. Must have taken time to propagate to the edge servers or whatever is going on there.
