Re: Retrieval time

"The most important thing with a managed backup solution isnt it?"

Glacier is the equivalent of *off-site* tape backup. That means it should be your last-resort restore point (i.e. rare occurance), and generally isn't quick (due to the need to actually get the tapes from a remote location, etc)
