Glacier Deep Archive is the cheapest cloud backup option at $1USD/month/TB.
Google Cloud Store Archive Tier is a tiny bit more.

To quote the old mongodb video: If you don't care about restores, /dev/null is even cheaper, and its webscale.
Both would be pretty expensive to actually restore from, though, IIRC.
Quite expensive, but it should only ever be a last resort after your local backups have all failed in some way or another. For $1/mo/TB you purchase the opportunity to pay an exorbitant amount to recover from an otherwise catastrophic situation.
If you don't test your backups, they don't exist.

Yes, about $90USD per TB.
But I weigh that against data recovery from failed disks and the loss of the data I put in Glacier (family photos/etc). Then its dirt cheap.
