Arq overview
Arq is super-easy online backup for Mac and Windows computers. Back up to your own cloud account (Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Cloud Storage, any S3-compatible server), your SFTP server, or your NAS. On OS X, Arq backs up and faithfully restores all the special metadata of Mac files that other products don't, including resource forks, ACLs, and creator codes.
- Following the initial backup, Arq automatically makes incremental backups every hour, every day, uploading just the files that have changed since your last backup. Arq keeps hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for everything older than a month.
- Arq lets you set a budget for storage, and it automatically drops the oldest backups to keep within the budget.
- Arq backs up everything with no limits. It backs up files of any size, external drives, and network drives.
- Arq compresses and "de-duplicates" your backups, never storing the same file twice in the cloud. Arq encrypts all your backups with a password that never leaves your computer, so no one can read your cloud backups.
- You can back up to multiple accounts. Back up some files to Glacier, some to S3, some to an SFTP server, etc.
What’s new in version 7.26.3
- Fixed an issue where an in-progress backup record could be left behind when the backup finishes and no changes have been detected since the previous complete backup record.

Version: 7.5.1
Was formerly using CloudBerry Backup (aka MSP360), having found it adequate on the Windows platform, gave the Mac version a try. Decided to try Arq last month during their 25% off sale for the Premium service ($39.99 for FIVE computers [Mac or Windows] for a year). $8 per computer for a year including cloud storage, hard to beat. I've been very pleased. The UI is better than Cloudberry, support is better (Cloudberry stand alone has NO support, only available if you opt for the expensive 'backup service'). Web access to files with Arq is far easier than Cloudberry. I'm still using Cloudberry for Windows, backing up to B2. With Arq I can also use B2 or the included storage that comes with Arq Premium. It would seem Cloudberry started out on Windows, then got into the Mac market. Arq appears to have started with the Mac, then branched out to Windows. Cloudberry's Windows client is so superior to their Mac client, it will be interesting to see if Arq's Windows client is on par with the Mac client.

Arq 7 is running perfectly on my M1 MacBook Air. Backup it up to Backblaze B2 and to a local network share. Also backing up a network share to B2.
All works without any issues!

Version: 5.19.2
I am beta testing Version 7. No problems so far.
I’d award the fifth star, once an update were to provide functionality sought by reviewer Ionos below. I had never considered those points. But I migrated from Wasabi to Microsoft OneDrive (because it was included in my Office subscription for free), but I would have appreciated being able to migrate from Wasabi.

This app is now up to version 6.2.11. Arq 6 is much improved over Arq 5. Why does the new version not appear here?
