You still have to read all FAQs and make up your own mind!

I looked at backblaze and carbonite. And I agree on your comments about
glacier.
What worries me, is that they talk about backup and not archiving.
When I not miss my file within 30 days it is gone.

I have about 2TB of personal data. Are there any archival services for home
usage?
