Hmmm that would be me, i pressed reply insteaf of reply all, sorry about that.
The only real drawback is that they charge per

The thing is once you use S3 the Glacier backup comes with it. Inside your S3 bucket settings you have archiving option that you set according to your preference. Lets say you set it to 3 months then S3 will automatically archive any files older than 3 months in Glacier.
Another useful thing that comes with S3 buckets is versioning, meaning if you decide to switch it on it will keep multiple versions of the same file which comes handy to quickly roll back to specific point of time.
