As I understand it, at $0.12 per GB, 100GB retrieval should cost $12, which is roughly the same as 1 month's S3 storage cost, plus $0.05 per 1000 files. 100GB is going to be about 4000 25MB volumes, so that's about $0.20.
That's a grand total of $12.20. What am I missing?
Anyway, if it is $40 for retrieval, you'd save that much in 4 months, so it's not a problem. I use AWS to hold data I will only ever recover in the case my house burns down, or all my computers and backup go pop at once, so a one-time higher fee I never expect to pay is not a problem.
-------------------
As for the 4 hour download delay, I'd be happy to have a command that moves an existing backup between S3 and Glacier, and I'd be happy to be only able to restore from S3, if that's easier.
Once the web console grows the right buttons, I'll be able to move whole backup sets back and forth manually, but it'd be nice to be able to do it at a finer granularity. I.e. to 'glaciate' a full backup, but keep the last incremental one 'active', or backup directly to glacier whilst keeping the metadata in S3.
