 How long is my service contract for S3?

You have no contract committing you to any fixed charges, we only charge per consumed resources.

 Do you charge for data transfer (ingress or egress)?

The service is only charged for the consumption of storage on a daily base.

 Is my S3 data backed up?

We offer geo-replicated buckets (Create bucket) to increase availability, so if you need other forms of data protection you need to manage that through other solutions.

 I need to move big volumes of data but have a limited network connection, how can this be accomplished?

We offer a DataMover which is a rack mounted server which can store ~350TB of data. This can used to migrate large amounts of data from your datacenter in to the S3 service potentially in shorter time and less impact on your network.

 Why should I create replicated buckets?

Creating a replicated bucket protects your data against region failure and makes it accessible during outage. So replicated buckets is a way to reach higher availability, should you have those requirements.

Example:

You have created a replicated bucket and se-central-1 experiences network outage.
After re-pointing your application or tool to se-north-1, you can continue to access your data.
Once se-central-1 is back in operational state, replication engine will make sure any changes to your data is reflected to se-central-1, in this example.
