Hi, I've been doing similar backups for nearly 10 years. There's no cost for uploading data into Glacier other than a minimal $0.03 per 1000 PUT requests, the costs come when you transfer data out - a common pattern in AWS.
I use FastGlacier too. You can see the folder structure and do partial queries. Cost of downloading all your data depends on the retrieval method you choose - Bulk is cheapest which has no costs in the Glacier service (unless you're selecting a subset of a file via Glacier Select) so it's just the data transfer costs at about $0.09 per GB to the Internet, or $360 for 4TB. That's quite a lot so probably plan on never doing it! Keep a local backup which covers nearly all cases, and the Glacier backup is there as a last resort (if all your local hardware gets stolen, floods or burns).
Amazon S3 Glacier provides low-cost, long-term storage Starting at $0.0036 per GB per month, Amazon S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval allows you to archive large amounts of data at a very low cost. You pay only for what you need, with no minimum commitments or upfront fees. Other factors determining pricing include requests and data transfers out of Amazon S3 Glacier (incoming transfers are free).

Hi, tnx for your time. that's the same idea I had. Hopefully, you'll never need to take them out, but if you do it's always cheaper than sending a 4TB drive to a data recovery center... I use a RAID1 for this volume, but I would be sure about other kinds of problems.
Hi, Are you using Fast Glacier pro version or free version?
@Naveen_V just the free version. I've scheduled a weekly run of a script with commands for each folder I want to recursively back up, e.g.:
"C:\Program Files\FastGlacier\glacier-con.exe" sync MyUserName:MyPassword FolderToBackUp Region MyVault/Prefix ncs >> C:\Temp\GlacierBackup.log 2>&1
@skinsman thanks for your response : )
