Utilizing Amazon Glacier to store archived data Part 4

So this is update 4 to the whole idea of utilizing Amazon Glacier for long term storage of archived data.  Tip #1, which is the most important tip I can give anyone.. internets, internets, internets.  I cannot place enough importance on upload throughput.  I started this massive (relatively) upload job back around 6/17 and here it is.. first week of July and the job still has 165gb and @7 days remaining.

I am planning to totally saturate their connection tonight after COB.. hopefully that will help knock a chunk out of the remaining data.

If asked about Glacier itself... I have no complaints.  it's doing exactly what it's supposed to so far.

After upgrading to the Pro version of FastGlacier it now averages 8 threads when uploading data, much, MUCH faster now.

WOOT!
