   They have a bandwidth-checker so you can see what throughput you'd get to their data center: https://www.backblaze.com/speedtest/

   FYI, to restore your files with Backblaze, you'll have to give them your key. They then decrypt your files and leave them in an unencrypted zip file on their servers for you to download.

   It was only consumer OneDrive before. Now it uses the Microsoft Graph API so you can use OneDrive business accounts too.

   We're looking at it. Looks like it takes up to 15 hours to get your data "rehydrated" so you can download it. Also it's $5 to rehydrate 10,000 blobs so depending on how Arq chunked your data it could cost quite a bit of

   We just shipped Arq 5.15 with support for backing up to Office 365 and SharePoint accounts. https://www.arqbackup.com/blog/onedrive-office365-sharepoint...

   That's one big reason why we made Arq Cloud Backup not delete anything. It's 1 TB of storage and unlimited computers, vs 1 computer and unlimited storage with Backblaze. But we won't drop the backups of your external drives,

   You could try our new Arq Cloud Backup offering. It doesn't delete backups of your external drive.

    Arq only works with consumer OneDrive accounts right now (I work on Arq). But we're modifying it right now to work with O365 accounts. Email me at support@arqbackup.com and I'll let you know when it's ready.

    What about Arq would make you switch from Borg? (And if you could email me at stefan @ arqbackup.com I'd love to follow up and learn more)

    Thanks. Yes I’ve heard that before but not as clearly as you’ve written it here. I appreciate the feedback a lot.

    Have you looked at Arq[1]? It deduplicates, encrypts, compresses, backs up to most major cloud providers and SFTP and Minio, is available for macOS and Windows. We've been improving it for 10 years. The data format is open and document

    OK. I found your email from Sep 2017, using Arq 4 and Amazon Cloud Drive. There was a problem with Arq deleting more old backup records than you expected, but without more information about what had happened in the previous year I couldn&#x

    What's your expectation with OneDrive on-demand files?

    I'd love to know more about this too (I'm the lead developer on Arq). Please email support@arqbackup.com with details if you don't want to post here. Thank you!

    I use mailinabox https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox on DigitalOcean droplets for my personal and work email domains. It’s been working great for months.

    No, because you learn a lot through each process that ends in "failure".

    I think this means doing composition/delegation, which the author of TFA calls "basically giving up on implementation inheritance."

    Maybe that just means you're not the target market.

    (Disclosure: I work for Arq Backup) Arq will back up files that are on your NAS, or anything else you want it to back up.

    (Disclosure: I work for Arq Backup) Arq encrypts the backups before transmitting them, and the encryption key you choose never leaves your computer.

    We just added Wasabi as a destination option in Arq Backup. Seems to do that job well.

    We just added B2 support to Arq Backup. It's been working great for us so far.

    Niche FTW definitely. But I think it'd be hard to find something that's "steady". I run my own business and it's always changing -- the market's changing, the technologies are changing.

    Me too. During a 3-day visit to Austin TX I used RideAustin maybe 10 times. It was flawless. The app works just as well as Uber's, the cars and drivers were just fine.

    Arq does validate checksums of the backup data. If there are transient errors it should be retrying. Please send mail to support@arqbackup.com so we can diagnose the problem and fix it. (I work for Arq)

    Glacier now has an "expedited" retrieval tier which lets you restore your files within a few minutes. You pay $.03/GB for retrieval using that tier though. The bulk retrieval tier (5-12 hours delay) is $.0025/GB (in the

    It recalculates checksums of your files and compares them to checksums of the backup data at the destination. (I work on Arq)
