Arq Backup
By Arq
Arq is a backup app for Mac and Windows sold as a $59.99 license per computer with no storage included, so backups go to a cloud account, NAS, SFTP server or external drive the buyer already pays for. Plans run hourly or daily, use filesystem snapshots, and encrypt data before it leaves the computer.

Facts we checked
- The home page says Arq can back up hourly or daily, and can be blocked on specific Wi-Fi networks or on battery power. Source
- By default Arq backs up from an APFS snapshot on macOS or a VSS snapshot on Windows, so each backup reflects one moment in time. Source
- A backup plan can thin backup records as they age, keeping hourly, daily, weekly and monthly records for set periods. Source
- When a password is chosen for a plan, Arq encrypts data before sending it and the password never leaves the computer. Source
- The product page offers a 30-day free trial and states that no storage is included. Source
