Chose Wasabi Object Storage
Azure was too expensive for a cold solution. While it was backed up across 3 different data centers, it wasnt worth the cost. Google cloud is comparable in price, but Google is Google. And they arent good for DoD backups as your data could end up in a foriegn datacenter.

Chose Wasabi Object Storage
Wasabi is a tiny bit more expensive than Backblaze B2 ($5.99 vs $5 per TB per month), and there are minimum storage size/time requirements (1TB, 3Mo), but Wasabi has free traffic each month up to the size of storage which can save you a lot of money.

If you have a huge collection of files where they are unlikely to change over time, like videos and photos, then Wasabi is a great place to back things up.

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • The cost savings from previous Cloud backup solution is over 70%
  • Ease of backups - Incorporation with Veeam already in place
  • Our biggest bottleneck for throughput is our on-prem storage offloading to Wasabi. COuldnt be happier with thier network bandwith.
