Arq backup download#
Now you have a permanent cloud copy that you can manually download at any time via Arq's GUI! It's so fast that it's usually faster for me to restore a file via Arq from Amazon Cloud Drive than to wait for my Apple Time Capsule (on the local network)'s hard disk to wake up and find the file (time capsules are dog-slow)! You can even keep permanent copies of deleted files online via Arq just add a folder, sync it to the cloud, then click the "Detach" button in the GUI to mark that folder as "don't sync it from local anymore". And the Arq daemon is very efficient and was written with meticulous nerdiness for speed so that it doesn't bog down my computer (unlike most generic backup companies that just slapped together some slow, generic garbage in Java).

And you have total control over your backups, unlimited computer backups, no restrictions placed on you by some company. You won't suddenly lose all backups just because something like BackBlaze ends up closing. And that's what matters.Īrq: You can use any backup storage. Stefan isn't a very nice person, but his product is great. But he's still the best there is when it comes to backup solutions, hence why I am still a happy lifetime Arq customer and still gladly recommend it to others.

He can be efficient if your problem is easy, but he personally treats customers as annoyances and hates hearing about bigger problems with his code. I think he's recently hired some female to help him out with nicer customer support, though. Stefan Reitshammer is an autistic ******* with zero people skills.
