We believe that maintaining your privacy and control should not come at the expense of enjoying the advantages of cloud storage. Arq allows you to back up your files to an existing cloud account, an external disk, or both, utilizing robust end-to-end encryption to ensure that only you have access to your data. With the implementation of filesystem snapshot technology, Arq creates flawless, point-in-time backups of your files, even while they are being modified during the backup process. The software maintains a comprehensive backup history, which means that if you find a file has been corrupted, accidentally deleted, or compromised by a ransomware attack, you can easily restore an earlier version. Furthermore, Arq Backup is compatible with a variety of cloud service providers, enabling you to take advantage of any spare storage you may have for secure, versioned backups of your critical files. This flexibility not only protects your data but also ensures you have peace of mind knowing your important information is safeguarded against unexpected mishaps.
