This looks really interesting to me. One thing that I'm not quite clear on is whether or not backups made using Arq to Glacier can be restored using other software.
I'm mildly concerned about what could happen if I need to restore software in three years on a new version of OS X (or a different OS entirely), possibly after sreitshamer has been hit by a bus and not updated things.
- leejoramo 14y agoArq uses its own format. However, the developer of Arq has provided an open source restore tool on github: http://sreitshamer.github.com/arq_restore/ http://sreitshamer.github.com/arq_restore/ http://www.haystacksoftware.com/blog/2010/04/open-source-arq-restore-utility/ http://www.haystacksoftware.com/blog/2010/04/open-source-arq... Edit: the files on Github have not been updated in 3 months. So this most likely can't restore Glacier backups.
