Hi Jim,

Direct Link is useful, but when using public egress retrival I guess DL could be more expensive than the Object Storage cost itself.  You can also use VPN to reach your Private or Direct endpoint, with a lower cost than the Public one.

But as an example: If you have a 5% restores every month (backup TB vs restore TB), with a small-to-medium storage space (let say less than 10TB), we can talk about ~20USD to 30USD per month per TB, with public egress.

If the amount of retrieval requests and/or the amount of TB you retrieve is larger, you can use a fixed pricing model per/TB.  In that case I suggest to talk with your IBM Cloud representative, or you can contact me in private.
