If you don't mind my asking, how much content are you putting into Glacier and Backblaze?
I've got ~300GB in Backblaze and 1.5TB in Glacier. $55/year for Backblaze and ~$9/month for Glacier. Backblaze charges by the computer but doesn't have a data limit.

My NAS is from Synology and it has a built-in Glacier integration. I spun up a Glacier bucket and a new set of IAM creds specific to my NAS, whole thing was up and running in just a couple minutes. It's a two-bay NAS plus it has an eSATA port so it's got plenty of room for expansion.

For the longest time I only had Backblaze. I got the NAS because I needed to offload a lot of my photo library and I figured Glacier was an easy way to keep the NAS backed up.
