Imagining that the entire primary bucket was destroyed (which is not the
73+
expected scale of data loss, but useful as a worst-case analysis), then the cost
74+
to restore from backup would be

$`1\ \rm{PB} \times 1024\ \rm{TB}/\rm{PB} \times 1024\\rm{GB}/\rm{TB} \times \$0.0025/GB/mo \approxeq \$2600`$.

The DANDI Archive is expecting a ramp-up in data volume of 1 PB of new data over each of the next five years, culminating in a total of 6PB.

Scaling up the previous analysis means that the monthly costs will be projected to rise to a total of **~$6,100/month** once all of that data is seated.
82+
The worst-case disaster recovery cost would similarly scale up to a total of **~$16000**.

An open question is whether the AWS Open Data Sponsorship program would cover the marginal costs of backup. A quick estimate shows that once all 5 PB has been uploaded, the expected bucket cost for the primary bucket (i.e., what the AWS Open Data Sponsorship program covers already, excluding backup) will be:
