I'd bet that this use case is pretty common: I have only a small amount of data (a few hundred MB in my case) that I deem day-to-day critical, but hundreds of GB that I don't want to lose. My backup solution is effective but primitive: parchives on two offline hard drives, one of which is at my parents' house seven hours away. Backing up takes little effort but it's easy to forget, especially at the "remote site".
It's really annoying that there's lots of easy backup solutions for online data, but nothing for cheap backup of large amounts of data that can afford to be offline for a while. Glacier is the perfect solution but I dread having to figure out whatever I have to do--divide things into a 180-part archive and download it over a month?--to get data back. The first glaciated backup solution on the market that I think I can trust will get my dollars almost immediately.
