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 (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Best place to store ~10TB that lets me prepay for several years? (alien.top)

I'm working on shutting down a business that has significant digital assets that they'd like to store for several years post-shutdown. Does anyone know what the most reasonable approach would be for storing ~10TB somewhere and prepaying for 2-3? Egress is unlikely, so high egress fees are fine – this is more of a CYA for them.

None of the pricing pages out there really seem to cover this.

AWS offers exactly this. You upload to S3, then reserve the storage (at a discount) for a few years. You can pay upfront.

It's not cheap, but it's the most reliable and secure option for a business.
