Arq automatically backs up all your Macs and PCs to your own cloud account.

Simple.
Safe.
Secure.
Arq Backup protects whichever files you tell it to back up, automatically, every hour.
Backups are stored in your cloud account or NAS or SFTP server to protect against theft, ransomware, disaster.
No one else can read your backups because everything is encrypted before it leaves your computer with a password only you know.
Back up to
your own
cloud account.
Arq Backup integrates with many different cloud providers. So if you have a cloud account with some extra space available, use it for encrypted, versioned backups of your important files.
You can also back up to an SFTP server or an external drive or a NAS.
Or back up to all of the above! Arq can back up to multiple destinations.

Awesome customer service
Stable, self-funded, owner-operated, profitable company since 2009
Open and
transparent.
Arq stores your encrypted backups in a format that's open and documented.
There's even an open-source restore tool called arq_restore so advanced users can access the data directly.
Knowing where your backups are and being able to see the data directly brings peace of mind.
Happy customers!
Successfully used @arqbackup to restore over 1TB of data from @backblaze B2 storage. I’ve used Arq to restore a file or two here and there, but this is the first time restoring from a complete disk failure. Great to see it worked so well!

Using @arqbackup to retrieve 200 GBs of photos after a destroyed laptop incident is seriously amazing.

Thanks to @arqbackup for their help getting my backups working again after a Windows update messed up multiple installed applications, even though the root problem wasn't to do with Arq.
