Which is why I find these cloud “backups” with all their petty restrictions to be a complete and utter waste of time.

And they would download more quickly than they uploaded; it might be a viable way to restore your system. We now believe we made an error in excluding .sparseimage, and we have since added it back to the list of files we support via backup. Backup Mac to cloud storage of your choice or set up local backup if you want to send only a subset of your data to the cloud and keep the rest on your local backup storage.

Three days later, the novice was still reinstalling software.What Crashplan don’t tell you in those “product updates” is that if you were backing up files that they started excluding or even genuine data but in one of their newly excluded folders, that they will just silently stop backing it up.And then they’ll prevent you restoring anything from their backups either…And there’s no way to change the behaviour or get back anything you’ve been backing up for years…I’d not recommend Crashplan any more to anyone, they silently stop backing up files with no warning and no recourse.Can you clarify what you are finding as too unreliable with Arq ?Arq stopped working a couple of times.

That was when their software just wouldn’t do any backup anymore. But since they no longer backup up system files and applications, that would seem to be problematic.The problem seems to me to be twofold: First, the process of checking files for changes being slow; the second is upload bandwidth. At this moment it is still working for me but I suppose I have to assume it will stop or give incorrect info soon.I am also coming to the end of my discount period, so if they also stop my sparsebundle I may very well be looking elsewhere perhaps even Backblaze, in spite of the 30 day hazard.That’s what I thought, thanks for confirming. (Probably not going to call it that)The issues were almost all related to importing Arq 5 backups. The first mistake was sending the letter to the wrong circulation.

I don't know of a similar thing on Windows but I imagine there is one.I believe this password only gives access to the app and the ability to delete or start new backups, so not a critical security hole but glad to hear it’s fixed.I'm sorry about that. At a local computer fair put on by the University of Washington a few weeks ago, I came across a small local company with a product that...Anyway, as I said in the article, an Internet backup should be Anyone who relies solely on an Internet backup service is simply foolish. I tested and confirm that Backblaze can backup .dmg and .sparseimage files. At a few different jobs, my husband and I both found offsite backup services to be more trouble and time consuming than they were worth. If it wasn’t for IT people being able to futz with recovery after hours, we probably would have jumped out windows. I copied the path from Explorer and verified the credentials.‘A logon session doesn’t exist. This takes 2 days or so and during that time no backup is done. So if Arq isn't able to do what you want, you're stuck.We've gotten several reports over the years of people deleting large amounts of data from that folder and Google doesn't free up the space in their quota.

I backed up the local version of iCloud storage to Arq so I was able to get the last working version back (plus I have a cloned backup from about a week ago; that version would have been fine, too, but I just thought of that right now. I know I don’t have 890GBs of VM images, so I’m not sure what’s going on and haven’t had a chance to investigate yet.But between general Crashplan flakiness (it stops running with no error message or warning) and and their increase in price (I recently went from the $2.50/month initial offer to $9.99), I’m pretty sure I’m going to find another cloud backup solution soon.Funny timing how their price increase comes right when the service has gone downhill…I also got an email CrashPlan about not backing up applications, but it was a surprise to me to learn that they had been accepting settings from users which backed apps, because from and after the very first time I signed up for CrashPlan years and years ago they always emphasized in writing that users were not supposed to use the service to backup apps. I'm also interested in feedback on Arq Backup.

Aside from your test small unused one, have you attempted backing up an actual VM and Sparsebundle to CP? )Here in rural Ireland, I can only get 38/10 so the Virgin offer looks incredible to me. I can’t find it anywhere, so if you have a link that would be most useful.

I don’t know if I can face it.I’ve had to load up my MBPro, reattach all my drives and keep the backup and drives active.It doesn’t inspire too much confidence, the support person said my backup was either too large or corrupt.Arq CloudBackup is my goto when people ask for advice, otherwise BackBlaze but I’m less happy with them than I was.Oh yeah, I back up everything even though I have a clone drive of my system. Making mistakes all over the place. But for the most part, Time Machine would seem to be the most reliable way of saving and restoring data—though I have my VMs excluded from my Time Machine backups, as I don’t have that much hard drive space to spare.

I don't have those links handy at the moment, sorry.Press J to jump to the feed. I use BackBlaze to supplement other backup drive but bad data corrupted these backup drives.

When my computer didn’t boot I found out that the last Arq backup was 10 days old. We found the services to be more trouble and expense then they were worth.
