Anyone here use Arq for backups?

Does anyone use Arq? It doesn't back up an entire computer, but it backs up documents to various places, be it Backblaze B2, Amazon S3/Glacier, an external drive, Dropbox, or other places.

It is different from Acronis and others in the fact that it is document based, and is made for backing up to cloud providers, and is decently lightweight.

It also saves cash. CrashPlan and Backblaze cost $10/month/computer, so if you have a lot of machines, this can get pricy. Arq is just a one time fee of $50 for all your non-server machines, and you can store using an offsite place like Wasabi which charges $4/TB/month, making it cheaper in the long run.
  • I have used Arq on both my PCs and Macs. Worked well. I use Backblaze B2 for all of my off-site replications. Can't beat the price and performance.
