Please note that you need an Amazon AWS account to use the app.

Finally, an AWS Glacier tool that works

I have been wanting to use AWS Glacier for a long time to do catastrophic storage of my home photos and videos. The other backup tools out there require you to upload to S3 and then "migrate" them to Glacier, but this costs more money. There are a couple of Python scripts out there too but I have found they just don't work reliably. This program does it right and it just works perfectly. I love it, great job!

AWS Makes Sense Now

Love this program. I've always struggled managing vaults and archives etc on AWS S3. I also don't know how to write scripts to use AWS. I don't need to now. I've got Freeze. This is a fantastic app to help you back up all your stuff. I do monthly backups for my company and yearly backups for work plus personal in addition to Dropbox and Time Machine. AWS is great long term storage and Freeze helps me use it with ease. Thank you!

Great solution

Been using for a couple years now - very good solution for uploading huge archives and disk images to Glacier. Some previous stability and reliability issues have long been resolved. Spending $ on this software is a bargain, and generates a strong ROI, because of how it lets you take advantage of cheap cloud storage.
