Recommended starting points
Based on your constraints, these products typically fit best. Read each decision brief to confirm pricing behavior and limits match your reality.
Wasabi
Cost-driven, S3-compatible object storage commonly evaluated for backups and large storage footprints. Buyers choose it when predictable storage economics matters more than hyperscaler ecosystem bread
Backblaze B2
Cost-driven object storage for backups and media libraries, often evaluated versus Wasabi and S3 when the decision is pricing mechanics (egress + requests) rather than raw storage price.
Why this recommendation
For backups/archives, validate storage minimums, request pricing, and restore patterns. The penalty is surprise costs during large restores.
