Comment on Arq for Windows finally available

Comments

(I'm the guy who wrote Arq) If you have any questions or run into issues, please let me know, either here or via email: support at arqbackup.com

Would you consider also creating a linux, preferably CLI, version?

Ys, it's on the to-do list.

That's the best news I've read in a while, thank you. Looking forward to it very much!

I'd use that in a heartbeat. +1

seconded, i think it would be a good alternative to duplicity

I love arq but run into an issue where my laptop fans spin up every time a backup is run. Is there an option to `nice` the daemon so it uses less cpu but takes a little longer? Arq on os x

It's always been nice'd to the lowest possible priority. It's on my to-do list to figure out how to make it not spin your fans up. Sorry about it.

Is there any chance of ever getting an IOS client to browser backups again?

I love arq, but I always have to keep a 2nd kind of cloud sync going to be able to view files from backups while on the go.

Don't know, sorry. Haven't gotten that many requests for it and lots of other stuff on the list.

Are things progressing with the Amazon Cloud Drive (Unlimited Everything) support? I think would get you a bunch of new users. I'm really eager to try it out.

Yes, working with Amazon on it.

That's incredibly nice to hear. When/if that's working I'm on the Arc bandwagon!

Hi, do you have an estimate when the SFTP option will be available in the Windows version? I have heard it exists in the OSX version.

As soon as possible. It's high priority on the to-do list.
