Arq is closed source and proprietary and its cryptographic functioning and integrity cannot be easily audited or verified.
Why use closed source crypto for money when free software that can be reviewed is available gratis? There are much better options.
- ink_13 3y agoThat's not true, actually. Code for restoring from Arq backups is freely available: https://github.com/arqbackup/arq_restore https://github.com/arqbackup/arq_restore
- philistine 3y agoI can’t code. What good is it for me if the code is open source ? I can’t vouch for it and I don’t know anyone who vouches for open source code. Also, I have a Mac. Try to find open source software that runs for four years straight without a hitch on Mac. Arq has done that for me.
