You can run multiple backup jobs in parallel too, although performance will depend on your Mac’s brain power and memory as much as on the performance of the backup storage and the network. The app even mounts network shares for you if you’re using a NAS for backup and you can select an option that allows it to back up even when you’re not logged in. It supports SFTP, Wasabi and S3 compatible servers. It keeps a backup history, so that if you discover a file was corrupted, accidentally deleted, or encrypted by a ransomware attack, you can go back and get the old version.Īrq 7 integrates with many different cloud providers, including BackBlaze B2, Dropbox, Google (Cloud and Drive), OneDrive and more. Arq uses filesystem snapshot technology to make point-in-time backups of your files, even if they are changing during the backup process. Arq 7, on the other hand, backs up to a large number of cloud backup services, attached disks, NAS, and more and even supports multiple types of backup storage simultaneously.Īrq 7 backs up your files with end-to-end encryption if you don’t turn off the default setting. You can say about the same of ChronoSync. CCC 6 comes close but is true to its origin as a cloning solution first. Time Machine is OK but doesn’t have incremental backups, compression, de-duplication or encryption. Of these, Arq Backup is the only true backup system.

On the Mac, you have four options to backup your data: Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, ChronoSync and Arq Backup.
