Since your not needing to access the data very often you might want to check out Amazon's Glacier service:

http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/

Only $0.01/GB/month. It might be a good solution if you can you can live 3 - 5 hour wait to retrieve the data.

As a poor starving student, I'm always trying to find the cheapest solution for my computer needs, so I've been trying to find a cheap solution for general storage and data archiving. I've stumbled upon products like BuyVM's Storage solution ($30/TB/month), Amazon Glacier ($0.01/GB/month), and RackSpace Cloud ($0.10/GB/month), but I fear that if I take my pick, I'm going to end up regretting the decision without checking with some people's opinions first.
