What it costs to move your backups to another vendor
Prices checked · Vendor details further down checked
Moving a 10 TB backup out costs nothing to read and download at 7 of 18 vendors; leaving costs $1,105.97 at Google Cloud Storage, $861.70 at Azure Blob Storage and $829.59 at Amazon S3. Wasabi also bills data deleted before its minimum stay for the days left: $145.34 for 10 TB deleted at 30 days.

The age decides any charge for deleting data before the old class's minimum stay; the speed decides how long reading it all out takes. Uploading to the new vendor counts one request per file.

Each vendor's main storage class: all 10 TB read once in 1 million files and downloaded to the internet in one month, then deleted. Uploading is free at every one of them; storage at the new vendor is billed from the month of the move.
Put your own numbers through the calculator to see what this charge does to a normal month and to the month you restore.
A migration is a full restore plus deleting the source
The copy phase looks like a full restore: inventory or LIST, archive restore when required, read or GET, retrieval, temporary readable-copy storage when published, and full public-internet egress. Migration then deletes the source after validation, which makes source delete requests and any unused minimum-duration remainder applicable. [1] [2]
The cost is directional. Switching from A to B uses A's exit profile; switching from B to A uses B's. Destination ingest is intentionally outside this source-exit bill. [3] [4]

| Action | Charge | Early-deletion charge |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory source objects [1] | Class A or LIST requests [1] | does not apply before anything is deleted or overwritten [1] |
| Read or restore every source object [2] | Class B, archive restore requests, retrieval, temporary copy, and egress as applicable [2] | does not apply during the read itself [2] |

Exit charges at each of the 18 source vendors
All 18 source vendors are listed below. The class-level lines cover the 66 offers we checked, including prices in other currencies, unpublished prices, conditional rules, and prices due for a re-check, rather than ranking totals that are missing a price. [1] [9]
Egress is the first decision variable, but free egress is not a free migration. Retrieval, requests, temporary readable copies, and deletion before the minimum can become the deciding lines. [2] [17]

All 306 one-way switches between the 18 vendors
Eighteen vendors produce 306 ordered source-to-destination pairs after the 18 same-vendor rows are excluded. Each pair covers every source class and region we checked, so a destination name never erases a source-side cold-tier or regional rule. [1] [19]
The direct internet path is the baseline. Pair-specific partner, CDN, same-provider, or private routes stay conditional or not published until the exact route is verified. [3] [1]

Free egress can still leave a migration bill
The worked examples use specific source-class inputs and leave destination ingest outside the total. They are examples, not universal quotes. Every rate comes from the vendor prices we checked, and any line we cannot price stops the total. [3] [2] [4]
Backblaze's result changes at three times average storage. R2's result can be driven by operations, retrieval, and young-object deletion. Wasabi charges no egress fee at any volume, so an exit bill is numeric either way; leaving with more than you store in one month is outside its fair-use guideline but is a one-off, not the regular excess Wasabi warns about. [3] [2] [4]

Migration bills we can and cannot total
Current vendor pages sometimes disagree with the prices we checked earlier, and the difference can change a migration bill. The DigitalOcean Cold difference was resolved on 29 July 2026 and the Storj one on 20 October 2026; the AWS difference is still open, so those prices are marked out of date instead of one source being picked over the other. [22] [8] [25]
Some shortcuts do not hold. In particular, an R2 zero-egress line does not erase request or retrieval charges, and a read-only restore does not receive the migration-only deletion remainder. [4] [2] [1]
Show the table (9 cases)as checked 25 July to 20 October 2026
| Price in question | Status of the price | What it means for your bill |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon S3 cold-class LIST request rate [22] | Out of date: AWS's current pages and the cold-class LIST rate we checked disagree, so it is due for a re-check | Cold-class migration inventory requests are due for a re-check and are not included in a numeric full-exit total. |
| DigitalOcean Spaces Cold egress and retrieval [8] | Resolved on 29 July 2026 | The bill uses the shared 1,024 GiB public-internet allowance and $0.01/GiB overage plus the published retrieval allowance and rate. |
| DigitalOcean Spaces Cold early-deletion allowance [8] | Resolved on 29 July 2026 | The first 250 GiB of monthly early deletions or updates is free; the remaining amount uses the prorated 30-day remainder. |
| Storj current exit schedule [25] | Resolved on 20 October 2026 | Storj's price list in effect since 1 July 2026 keeps Standard at $7 per TB stored and $7 per TB downloaded, the prices used here, so exits from Storj are priced on it. |
| Filebase Free-plan operation allowances [27] | Out of date: Filebase's pages give two sets of Free-plan operation allowances, so it is due for a re-check | Neither allowance set is applied to a Free-plan migration until the account plan is clear. The paid offer we checked is kept separate. |
| Hetzner included egress [29] | depends on use | An exact migration bill needs the hours the storage is active, so we do not assume a fixed full-month allowance. |
| Akamai request-pricing start date [31] | Out of date: Akamai's pages differ on when request pricing starts, so it is due for a re-check | We use Akamai's detailed pricing page as checked on 25 July 2026 and treat future request pricing as conditional. |
| Wasabi announcement transfer arithmetic [33] | Out of date: Wasabi's announcement example does not add up, so it is due for a re-check | We do not use the announcement's inconsistent example. We apply Wasabi's fair-use rule: no egress fee at any volume, with the policy beside it. |
| Wasabi minimum billable object size [4] | Resolved: Wasabi's pricing FAQ and our price table agree on a 4 KB minimum | Each object smaller than 4 KB is billed as if it were 4 KB. |

Every figure above comes from one of these pages, on the date shown. Each numbered reference in the text links to its entry here. Vendors change prices; if a date looks old, check the source. Three vendors publish a downloadable price feed and the rest are re-checked by hand, which is why the dates are not uniform.
