Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Build A NAS, and AWS Glacier for the very important data. I think AWS is less expensive than BackBlaze
AWS Glacier will be cheaper until you need to restore the data. On AWS, you'll pay $0.09/GB for bandwidth + Glacier retrieval fees. Over time, AWS might be cheaper but you'll be looking at a $3000+ bill to restore 30 TB.
That's a good point. Which provider should I go for, for about 15TB?
The cheapest option I've found is Hetzner storage boxes, they don't even charge for bandwidth. Backblaze and Wasabi are good options too, but Backblaze charges for outbound bandwidth and Wasabi is increasing their prices.
That's a fantastic find. If someone could limit the ultra important media/assets to 1TB, this is fairly affordable. And no transfer fees too!
