@xahteiwi I run bacula to an Amazon storage gateway VM, which provides a virtual tape library that I can write to. It ends up putting the virtual tapes in Amazon Glacier deep archive. Monthly cost for about 3T of raw data is less than 0.5USD; typical monthly cost is about 3-5USD (traffic is the main cost)
I calculated that an actual full recovery would cost me about 400-500 USD, which is significant but acceptable as a last resort scenario

@xahteiwi not a full one, because of the expected cost of that, but I have done a partial one and that worked perfectly.
@xahteiwi also, I have a lot of experience with bacula from my previous consulting, and I have done a full restore of customer data once or twice with it. I have no reason to doubt its ability to work well.
@xahteiwi difficult to say. It was a very small one, and what it added to my monthly bill didn't really rise above the normal monthly noise in price fluctuations.
I can say though that after correcting for the difference between my expected and actual monthly traffic, the outcome of the Amazon cost calculator (link in the blog post) was pretty much on point. I don't expect it will be more than my projections.
