We implemented a bunch of the most-requested features, and we worked hard on improving the performance.<\/p>\n<h3>Big Price Change<\/h3>\n<p>With Arq 5 we\u2019re switching from per-computer licenses to <strong>per-user<\/strong> licenses! Buy one license and use it on all your Macs and PCs!<\/p>\n<h3>Way Faster<\/h3>\n<p>Arq 5 is faster in several ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It uses LZ4 for compression for a 6x speed improvement.<\/li>\n<li>It uses multiple threads to back up, to restore, and to lots of other housekeeping tasks.<\/li>\n<li>It uses a lot less local disk space for caching information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>More Network Control<\/h3>\n<p>With Arq 5 you can restrict not only which Wifi networks Arq uses, but also which network interfaces it uses. No more backing up while tethered to your phone!<\/p>\n<h3>Search<\/h3>\n<p>Type a filename into the search box to find all versions of files matching the name. Select the file version you want and drag and drop to restore.<\/p>\n<h3>Session Logs<\/h3>\n<p>Arq 5 keeps a log of each backup session detailing start and end time, how much was scanned, how much was uploaded, and any errors that occurred.<\/p>\n<h3>Reports<\/h3>\n<p>Arq 5 can email you a report with a lot of detail, including statistics like amount scanned, amount uploaded, and even the list of files uploaded if you wish.<\/p>\n<h3>Run Script<\/h3>\n<p>Arq 5 can run a script before and\/or after the backup, in case you need to mount a network share before backup or kick off a task when backup is complete.<\/p>\n<h3>Open Data Format<\/h3>\n<p>As always, Arq has an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arqbackup.com\/arq_data_format.txt\">open, published data format<\/a>. The details of how Arq encrypts and stores your backups are clearly documented. It\u2019s your data after all, so you should know how it\u2019s stored.<\/p>\n<h3>Windows Network Volume Support<\/h3>\n<p>On Windows, Arq can now back up to and from network shares.<\/p>\n<h3>Windows Open Files Support<\/h3>\n<p>On Windows, Arq can now back up open\/locked files, like your Outlook pst file.<\/p>\n<h3>S3 \u201cInfrequent Access\u201d Storage Class Support<\/h3>\n<p>Check the checkbox in the destination preferences and Arq will store objects using the Infrequent Access storage class.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Features<\/h3>\n<p>There are lots more improvements tucked into the nooks and crannies of Arq. Basically we tried to fix everything that was annoying!<\/p>\n<h3>Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>Arq 5 is $49.99 <strong>per user<\/strong>, or $24.99 per user if you\u2019re upgrading from Arq 4.<\/p>\n<p>Download it now at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arqbackup.com\/download\/\">arqbackup.com\/download<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we released Arq 5, and we\u2019re really excited about it!
