Restore and planning
What a restore actually costs, line by line
Prices checked
Keeping 10 TB in Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive costs $9.43 a month; reading all of it back with Standard retrieval and downloading it costs $1,175.26 that month. Checked 6 November 2026.
10 TB stored, one full restore
An idle archive with one full restore. The restore month includes the ordinary storage bill.
US dollars before tax. Prices checked 17 October to 6 November 2026; euro tariffs use the dated ECB conversion in the receipts.
Workload and billing assumptions
10 TB = 10,000,000,000,000 bytes; 1,000,000 objects averaging 10 MB; 365-day object age. Full month: 730 hours or 30 days as the meter requires. No upload payload, deletion, overwrite or lifecycle move; no optional free tier or feature requirements. Any listed region.
Ordinary month: no downloads or requests. Restore month: 10 TB downloaded, 1,000,000 read requests and, where charged, 1,000,000 restore requests. Standard retrieval where offered; the receipt names the selected tier. Temporary readable copies kept for 168 hours. The comparison allows up to 12 hours before data is ready.
Destination: public internet at 1,000 Mbps. Download alone: at least 22.2 hours, after vendor preparation. Readiness is not a completion deadline. No data is deleted, so no early-deletion fee applies.

The Akamai invoice minimum and OVHcloud minimum-storage hours were corrected from their published terms. These are source corrections, not evidence of a new tariff. The price history records check dates, not tariff effective dates.
A restore estimate that shows retrieval, restore requests, temporary readable-copy storage, ordinary read requests, and destination-specific transfer as separate costs. It also shows when a required price is unavailable, and it does not apply an early-deletion charge to a read-only restore.
Example bill
What a full restore costs
This example stores 10 TB (10 trillion bytes) in one million objects in S3 Glacier Deep Archive in US East (N. Virginia), and the archive is 365 days old. It has no routine transfers or requests. It restores every object with Standard retrieval, reads each object once, sends the data to the public internet, and keeps the temporary S3 Standard copy for seven days. The transfer estimate assumes the account's shared first 100 GB monthly allowance is otherwise unused.

A restore bill has more than one price per gigabyte
Archive retrieval makes data readable; egress moves those readable bytes to a named destination. Offline classes can also charge one restore request per object and storage for a temporary readable copy. The calculator keeps those charges separate so a low archive storage rate cannot hide a costly recovery path. [1] [2]
The default destination is the public internet, not an unlabeled generic transfer. Same-region, cross-region, and CDN or partner paths can resolve to different rules. Monthly allowances are reduced by other transfer already entered for the month before the restore bytes enter the graduated tiers. [1]
A read-only restore leaves the archived source intact. Retrieval, restore requests, read requests, temporary-copy storage, and egress can apply, but early deletion does not apply unless a separate action deletes, overwrites, moves, or transitions the source before its minimum duration. [2]
| Bill line | Working | Input that changes it | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Retrieval | restore volume x selected retrieval-tier rate, or not published | Offer, Region, volume, tier | [1] |
| Restore requests | restore object count / published billing unit x request rate, or not published | Object count, tier | [1] [3] |
| Temporary readable copy | restored volume x applicable online-storage rate x user-selected days / billing month | Volume, restored-copy days, destination tier | [1] [2] |
| Read requests | GET, HEAD, LIST, and equivalent calls after allowances | Measured or entered request count | [1] |
| Egress | destination rule applied after the relevant fixed, proportional, bundled, or unlimited allowance | Destination, total monthly transfer, stored volume | [1] |
| Early deletion | does not apply for this read-only model | Only a separate delete, overwrite, move, or transition changes this | [2] |
The complete idle Deep Archive example prices every restore line
The bounded workload is an idle archive holding 10 trillion bytes in one million objects for 365 days. AWS defines its S3 pricing GB as 2^30 bytes, so the calculation uses 9,313.225746 GB rather than treating the payload as 10,000 AWS units. The normal month has no egress and no recurring requests. Deep Archive storage plus the published 40 KiB per-object metadata overhead totals $9.43. [4] [2]
The full recovery uses Standard retrieval, one restore request and one GET per object, public-internet transfer, and a seven-day S3 Standard temporary copy. The $1,175.26 restore bill includes $186.26 retrieval, $100.00 restore requests, $0.40 reads, $829.19 transfer, and $49.98 temporary-copy storage in addition to the $9.43 storage month. [4] [5] [3]
The transfer calculation assumes the account-wide first 100 GB monthly allowance is otherwise unused. That allowance is shared across AWS services and Regions except China and GovCloud; users must reduce it for transfer already consumed elsewhere. LIST is published separately at $0.005 per 1,000 requests and is zero in this worked example, while PUT, COPY, and POST use the Deep Archive $0.05 per 1,000 request meter. [4] [5]
| Line | Normal month arithmetic | Full 10 TB Standard restore arithmetic | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deep Archive storage | 9,313.225746 AWS GB x $0.00099 = $9.22 | 9,313.225746 AWS GB x $0.00099 = $9.22 | [4] |
| Metadata and reads | 40 KiB x 1,000,000 objects across Deep Archive and Standard = $0.21; recurring reads = 0 | The same $0.21 metadata plus 1,000,000 GETs / 1,000 x $0.0004 = $0.40 | [4] |
| Public-internet egress | $0.00 because the archive is idle | (9,313.225746 GB - 100 GB unused shared allowance) x $0.09 = $829.19 | [5] |
| Standard retrieval | does not apply in the normal month | 9,313.225746 GB x $0.02 = $186.26 | [4] |
| Restore requests and temporary copy | does not apply | 1,000,000 / 1,000 x $0.10 = $100.00; 9,313.225746 GB x 7 / 30 x $0.023 = $49.98 | [4] [5] |
| Complete total | $9.22 archive storage + $0.21 metadata = $9.43 | $9.43 + $829.19 + $0.40 + $186.26 + $100.00 + $49.98 = $1,175.26 | [2] |
Restore prices for each archive offer
The table covers the 19 region-specific offers that carry an archive or glacier class name, expose archive access inside Intelligent-Tiering, or are the cold backup offer in the prices we checked. For online archive classes, no temporary readable copy is needed; offline offers show the applicable temporary-storage formula, or not published where the vendor gives no price. [1]
Retrieval latency is shown only where the vendor's page or linked official documentation publishes it. A missing latency, request classification, restored-copy rate, or overage schedule is shown as not published, never converted to zero. [1]
Public-internet transfer is the stated destination for every egress line below. Changing the destination makes the calculator resolve the same-region, cross-region, or partner-path meter instead. [1]

A full Wasabi restore crosses a policy limit, not a priced tier
Wasabi is an online hot-storage offer rather than an archive class, but its full restore runs into the most important usage policy in the prices we checked. Retrieval, API requests and egress are not charged, and the free-egress guideline covers monthly transfer less than or equal to active storage. [29]
At 10,000 GB active storage, in Wasabi's GB of 1,073,741,824 bytes (about 10.7 TB as this site counts a TB), the reference 1,000 GB normal transfer remains inside the guideline. Adding a 10,000 GB full restore raises monthly transfer to 11,000 GB, or 1,000 GB above the boundary. Wasabi charges nothing for that excess either. [29]
So the restore month costs the same $78.03 as a quiet month. The result is conditional rather than a plain $78.03 quote: one restore month is not the regular excess Wasabi warns about, but a pattern of them can lead to limitation or suspension, so the estimate carries that policy beside the $0 egress line. [29]

| Wasabi bill line | Normal month | Month with 10,000 GB full restore | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Storage | 10,000 GB x $0.007802734375 = $78.02734375, rounded to $78.03 | $78.03 | [29] |
| Retrieval and requests | not charged | not charged | [29] |
| Temporary readable copy | does not apply for the online hot-storage offer | does not apply | [29] |
| Public-internet egress | 1,000 GB <= 10,000 GB active storage; $0 metered egress | 11,000 GB - 10,000 GB guideline = 1,000 GB excess; no fee, $0 | [29] |
| Estimate result | $78.03 numeric total | $78.03, with Wasabi's free-egress policy beside it | [29] |
| Early deletion | does not apply | does not apply because the restore does not delete, overwrite, move, or transition the source | [29] |
An unpublished restore line prevents a false total
Scaleway is the vendor this table still cannot total in dollars. DigitalOcean Cold Storage, Vultr Archive and OVHcloud Cold Archive no longer belong on it: DigitalOcean charges no request fees and reads Cold objects directly, Vultr charges no retrieval fee and bills a restored object as unarchived storage while you keep it, and OVHcloud's price list gives a $0.01062 per GiB retrieval rate and bills the restored copy at the Standard storage rate. Vultr publishes no time for a whole Archive restore, so a restore deadline cannot be checked against it. [13] [24] [27] [17] [23]
Scaleway publishes its Glacier restore and internet-transfer prices in EUR. The estimate is complete in EUR, but a USD total is not comparable until the user supplies a dated exchange-rate source. [14]
We have not made up a temporary-copy rate for any vendor in this table. Where a vendor does not publish a restored-copy schedule, the line says not published even when retrieval and egress prices are published. [1]
| Offer | What is missing | What we show | Wrong reading | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vultr Archive | How long a whole restore takes | Both bills; the ready time as not confirmed | Ready at once, because small objects download directly | [17] |
| Scaleway Glacier | The price of the temporary restored copy | Both bills as incomplete; the euro charges Scaleway publishes are converted at the European Central Bank's reference rate | Price the restored copy at zero | [14] |

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.
