I am currently backing up about 530GiB to a rented

that costs me about €40/month so not cheap, but fairly convenient.
Would be much cheaper to build my own backup host out of cast off
hardware and only ongoing cost being the electricity, but I need it
outside my home for disaster recovery purposes.
I also periodically send a full copy to Amazon Glacier for emergency
purposes. This costs about $3/month to keep there, but if I were to
ever need to restore it, it would cost about $50 one off to download
it all. So I hope to never have to do that.
Not sure of the retention cost, but have you looked at Azure blob
storage and fuse mounts to do it? On the surface it looks like $20.80
plus some more for I/O. I've yet to work out correct IO costs with Azure
and wouldn't be my first choice.
First choice, as always is with a good chap with equipment in THDN, has
a good referral scheme and goes by the name 'grifferz' :)
