About

We believe you shouldn't have to give up your privacy or control to get the benefits of the cloud. Arq backs up your files to a cloud account you already have, or attached disk, or both, with strong, end-to-end encryption so your data are only readable by you. Arq uses filesystem snapshot technology to make perfect, point-in-time backups of your files, even if your files are changing during the backup process. Arq keeps multiple backups of your files — a backup history. So if you discover a file was corrupted, or accidentally deleted, or encrypted by a ransomware attack, you can go back and get the old version. Arq Backup integrates with many different cloud providers. So if you have a cloud account with some extra space available, use it for encrypted, versioned backups of your important files.

About

Malware, user errors, or hardware failures often spell the end for important files. Therefore, it is essential to create regular backups to have a safety copy to fall back on in case of an emergency. Discover how BackUp Maker simplifies the process of data backup. With BackUp Maker, you simply select the data you want to secure, configure automation if desired, choose the destination, and your documents are reliably backed up - either scheduled or based on specific events. Your data lands safely and compactly in zip format on hard drives, USB sticks, or in the cloud. To protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, BackUp Maker offers high-security encryption of up to 256-bit (AES). Additionally, the program allows for the secure offloading of your encrypted backups via SFTP or FTP/FTPS to a web server. BackUp Maker supports a comprehensive backup concept without restrictions. Secure only new and changed files, create multiple backup generations, distribute backups across various storage media, and perform custom actions before and after the backup.

Pros from Real Users

  • It is very easy to set up, and the actual backup process—once everything is configured—takes practically just one mouse click. It is simply well designed. Restoring data is just as easy should a problem arise; that, too, is done with a single click. I have been using it for years and have never lost any data.
