It obliges cloud providers to make customer data portable and to remove the barriers that keep customers locked in.The practical implications are highly relevant for IT decision-makers, but many are still unaware of the regulation.--- ](https://www.fast-lta.de/en/blog/eu-data-act-was-sich-f%C3%BCr-cloud-nutzer-%C3%A4ndert) [Lesen ](https://www.fast-lta.de/en/blog/eu-data-act-was-sich-f%C3%BCr-cloud-nutzer-%C3%A4ndert "EU Data Act: What Changes for Cloud Users") Blog Post [Compliance ](https://www.fast-lta.de/en/blog/compliance)[Data sovereignty ](https://www.fast-lta.de/en/blog/data-sovereignty) [#### Data Egress Fees: The Hidden Costs of Your Cloud Backup Cloud backup looks cheap on the price list: a few cents per gigabyte per month for archive-tier storage. The surprise comes when you retrieve your data, for a recovery, a migration or a restore test. Outbound transfer (egress) to the internet is typically priced around USD 0.05 to 0.09 per GB at hyperscaler list rates, several times the monthly storage cost of the same gigabyte.At that rate, retrieving 100 TB costs roughly USD 5,000 to 9,000 in transfer fees alone. For backup workloads, where full retrieval is exactly the scenario you are paying for, this changes the economics fundamentally.--- ](https://www.fast-lta.de/en/blog/egress-kosten-die-versteckten-kosten-ihres-cloud-backups) [Lesen ](https://www.fast-lta.de/en/blog/egress-kosten-die-versteckten-kosten-ihres-cloud-backups "Data Egress Fees: The Hidden Costs of Your Cloud Backup") Blog Post [Compliance ](https://www.fast-lta.de/en/blog/compliance)[Data sovereignty ](https://www.fast-lta.de/en/blog/data-sovereignty) [#### What Is Data Sovereignty?
