Scaling up the previous analysis means that the monthly costs will be projected to rise to a total of **~$31,000/month** once all of that data is seated. While $1000/month may be a feasible ongoing cost, $30000/month is not.

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 30 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:
