I agree with Bobbye. Option B is the way to go. S3 is reliable and Glacier Deep Archive is dirt cheap for cold storage. Plus, no need to mess with CloudWatch Logs or AWS Backup, which adds unnecessary complexity.

Option B seems like the most straightforward and cost-effective solution. S3 Lifecycle policies can automatically move the logs to Glacier Deep Archive, which is perfect for long-term storage that's rarely accessed.

I agree, it's a smart way to manage storage costs while still retaining access to older logs when needed.
