Amazon has a facility for automatically copying S3 data into Glacier.  So why 
can't anything that uses S3 support copying the data to Glacier?

Also why do you want Glacier?

Last time I looked at the pricing the cost of storing 15TB in Glacier for a 
year was about equal to buying a Dell PowerEdge T110 server and 5*4TB disks 
which in a RAID-Z configuration will store the same amount of data.

Personally I'd trust a ZFS server I run at a remote site more than Amazon 
cloud storage.
