If I wanted to store, say, a 100 GB of photographs (jpeg and raw formats), roughly how much would it cost me per month just for the storage? Let's say I would upload one big archive of photos in the beginning, and then re-archive the photo collection whenever I add significantly more photos to the collection (after a vacation or a birthday).
To go just by the stated pricing of Tarsnap, this would cost me $25 per month for the storage. But then I also see mention of users with terabytes worth of archives who pay less than $10 a month. I read the FAQ entry which explains how this happens, but that does not really tell me whether I can hope for such savings when it comes to photos. Do photo collections (raw/jpeg/both) "shrink" significantly from the deduplication and compression of Tarsnap? I think they don't (and that the savings apply to incremental backups), but it would be great if you could make this clear. Thank you!
