Every month I test my backup actually my data is 100 GB. And now I realised that this cost 4,5 $ every month. So maybe Tardigrade is a little to expensive compared to a fixed price storage account with now egress fees but fixed costs every month. What do others think.

Exactly what BrightSilence said. Consider the household connection of lets say 1000/500 for lets say 99$/moth is able to do 162TB/mo that’s 3240$ for single node, if it’s maxed, so the price can go way down. Lets say i have 1000/100 in my home, i would be super happy if i can get 320$ for that, tha…

Hmm excuse me, but even if its cold storage and thus cheaper to maintain, how a company with a datacenter can survive with one-time plan lifetime and no additional fees if they don’t get new customers after a period of time?

Yes, indeed, but I was not sure this company is able to take in charge that insurance (this is not a so big company I think, the risk is quite real). Anyway, this is a “special” offer which could disappear quite fast in some months, and it could be in short term a way to promote their services and c…
