  • Cryptomator Volume can't be accessed by Arq Backup
    I use Arq 7 on macOS to backup to various network, cloud and physical drives. This is able to mount network volumes both as backup sources and destinations, in addition to connected physical drives (internal or external). Source: 11 months ago
  • Best cloud storage option for macOS in 2023
    Wasabi.com is an Amazon S3-alike that I use with the arqbackup.com client for remotely backing up my machines. Wasabi offers a nice desktop client for what looks like Dropbox-like capability. Haven't dug into that yet either. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Repeatedly having to deactivate / reactivate licence
    The only way to resolve is to log in to Arq account at arqbackup.com , deactivate the licence, then go back into the Arq app and rekey the (same) licence. The app starts to work immediately fine. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Storj or filebase
    I use Storj (with Arq) and it works flawlessly. It's not my primary repository (still testing it) but it's one of a few I use to backup to. Speeds are fast, the dashboard is intuitive, and costs are pretty cheap. Nothing to complain about, but I'm only backing up ~500G right now. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Looking for people that are USING storj
    I use Storj and host a node (I get it, might not be what you're after). If it helps, my node is in a datacenter, not in my home/SOHO. I'm using Arq to send data up to Storj on my / other's machines. Always around to help, if needed. Source: almost 2 years ago
