And then he wakes up, remembering everything that just happened, and tries again.Įarly scenes play like Edge of Tomorrow, with Renton using lessons learned in one iteration - about both his captors and the long-lost lover, Hannah (Rachael Taylor of Jessica Jones), he was just reunited with - in an effort to win his freedom the next time around. Soon the woman sleeping beside him is taken also they’re bound and threatened Renton tries to escape he’s killed. Following soon after Elliot’s writing work on Orphan Black, this low-budget offering has some built-in fanboy appeal but its knottily plotted action is involving enough to attract sci-fi fans with no knowledge of Elliott’s small-screen credits.ĭespite being set in a possibly endless loop, the film wastes no time, starting off as Renton (Robbie Amell) awakens from what he thinks is a nightmare, only to be kidnapped by three men wearing gas masks. A well-equipped 2015 MBP became unusable every time Arq was performing a backup, which made Arq unsuitable for continuous backups.A Groundhog Day scenario in which the hero’s not the only one who learns he’s in a time loop, Tony Elliott’s ARQ pits the (accidental) inventor of a time machine against multiple players who want to steal it before they even know what it does. (3) The Arq Backup agent requires a significant amount of CPU cycles. One cannot create one file selection for backups and then back this selection up to multiple destinations, rather one needs to manually recreate the selection for every destination, and keep it in sync manually. (2) Arq is very destination centric, rather than source centric. This for me was the main show-stopper the company behind Arq has stated multiple times over the last years (both on Twitter and via eMail) that this lock-in is a known fact and provider-migration is not supported. If I want to retain my historical backups/archives, I am locked into the originally chosen cloud space vendor forever. (1) It is not possible to migrate backup data from one cloud provider to another, which I might want to be able to do in the case of pricing or service changes (B2/Amazon Drive), new providers (Wasabi), lack of reliability, etc.

I used the app for many years, but stopped doing so due to 3 short-comings a while ago:

Cloudberry's Windows client is so superior to their Mac client, it will be interesting to see if Arq's Windows client is on par with the Mac client. Arq appears to have started with the Mac, then branched out to Windows. It would seem Cloudberry started out on Windows, then got into the Mac market. With Arq I can also use B2 or the included storage that comes with Arq Premium. I'm still using Cloudberry for Windows, backing up to B2. Web access to files with Arq is far easier than Cloudberry. The UI is better than Cloudberry, support is better (Cloudberry stand alone has NO support, only available if you opt for the expensive 'backup service'). $8 per computer for a year including cloud storage, hard to beat. Decided to try Arq last month during their 25% off sale for the Premium service ($39.99 for FIVE computers for a year). Was formerly using CloudBerry Backup (aka MSP360), having found it adequate on the Windows platform, gave the Mac version a try. Back up some files to Glacier, some to S3, some to an SFTP server, etc.

Arq encrypts all your backups with a password that never leaves your computer, so no one can read your cloud backups. Arq compresses and 'de-duplicates' your backups, never storing the same file twice in the cloud.

It backs up files of any size, external drives, and network drives.

Arq backs up everything with no limits.

Arq lets you set a budget for storage, and it automatically drops the oldest backups to keep within the budget.

Arq keeps hourly backups for the past 24 hours, daily backups for the past month, and weekly backups for everything older than a month.

Following the initial backup, Arq automatically makes incremental backups every hour, every day, uploading just the files that have changed since your last backup.

On OS X, Arq backs up and faithfully restores all the special metadata of Mac files that other products don't, including resource forks, ACLs, and creator codes. Back up to your own cloud account (Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Cloud Storage, any S3-compatible server), your SFTP server, or your NAS.
