You lose Arq, you lose your backups.
- tfe 11y agoThe format Arq uses is open and documented, so that you can restore without having Arq if necessary: https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt And there are tools to help: http://sreitshamer.github.io/arq_restore/ http://sreitshamer.github.io/arq_restore/
- m_eiman 11y agoThe format of the backups is specified, so making a replacement should be possible if needed: https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt
