It uses a modern, content-addressed storage format. Arq: It's OK Arq screenshot, from my mac.Īrq is decent, and I use it for my Macbook. Spoiler: Ultimately, I use Arq to backup my Macs, and Duplicacy for my Synology Network-Attached-Storage (NAS) device. I'm looking for software that will run on the NAS (Linux, Synology), at a reasonable cost for 1TB of backups, client-side encrypted, maybe with a year's worth of version retention. So, not really backups! Time to re-evaluate cloud backup software. Cloud Sync is not revisioned – only the latest version is kept, so a corrupted source would overwrite the sync. My macbook's backups are all good, having revisioned daily backups on Arq.īut my big files that live only on the Synology NAS (mostly disk images taken from disks inherited from a deceased estate) were only "synced" to Google Cloud Storage, by Synology Cloud Sync. I have data on my macbook, and on my Synology NAS.


After my last blogpost, where one of my hard drives was maybe taken out by lightning, I was reminded to reevaluate my backup strategy.
