$96–120/month for RRS or S3 is simply not worth it when there are other options that aren’t priced per gigabyte.
I’d only recommend Arq if you’re willing and able to pay for the more expensive S3 or RRS storage.īut my family’s backup set is about 4 TB (and growing). Glacier isn’t made for this, and it never lets you forget that. I used Arq with Glacier for months, but I wouldn’t recommend it. On the special bulk Glacier service, 1 TB is only $10/month, but Glacier is extremely clunky - simple operations can take hours or days to complete. The Reduced Redundancy option brings it down to $24/month, but that’s still significant. Arq to S3 or GlacierĪrq runs on a Mac, not on the Synology itself, and can back up any mounted file shares to Amazon S3 or Glacier.Īrq works well, but S3’s pricing can get prohibitive: priced per gigabyte, a 1 TB collection costs $30/month to host. I’ve greatly enjoyed my Synology NAS, the DS1813+, 1 for over a year, but I hadn’t found a good cloud-backup solution until now.
