Is there rough estimate how much more (%) you need to pay if you duplicate all data but almost never access the copy.

It depends on how much your data gets accessed. Your data storage costs (~$0.03/GB) double, but your transfer out costs (~$0.05-$0.09/GB) stay the same. The replication cost is often pretty negligible compared to regular traffic.
