Arq will resume just fine. It only uploads objects that are not already there. It will purge old objects according to your thinning preference, cleanup interval and budget. See the help for full explanations, but it’s basically very much like Time Machine. -- The following information is im

Hi, As a matter of fact, i’m backing up my NAS right now as i type using a trial copy of ARQ to my Dropbox. If i turn off my computer, will Arq resume the backup from where it left off when i turn the computer on again or will it fail spectacularly? /Krister > 10 apr. 2016 kl. 20:44 skrev Sabah

If you already have OneDrive, Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3/Glacier, you can use Arq with those; you only need to purchase the app. Once you’ve got yourself back under control, I’d seriously suggest having at least one off-site backup, just in case. Arq is fully accessib

Hi, A couple questions: 1 what is ARQ and is it available in the app store? 2 and even more dumb, i have 2 Seagate disks that came with the server so i don’t know much about exchanging disks. Can i use another brand of hard disk or do i have to have the same kind of disk, if so, i don’t know if i

Stay calm. Smile in the face of adversity. If you can still access the data on the NAS over the network, what’s wrong with just copying its contents to some other disk? If you don’t have the space, then use an application like Arq to back up to the cloud. You should replace the failed drive,
