Keeping them longer than that is unnecessary for me, and is going to use up more space at the destination site than I want. I use the base model M2 Mini as a Plex and Homebridge server. My Backblaze backup is only 270 GB right now, and I only backup my MBA because I don’t want to pay for two computers. But I may well move to Arq Premium when it comes time to renew. And it seems that there is no option to set a maximum retention of monthly backups to, say, 3 years. I just renewed Backblaze last week (such timing), so I’m good for now. But I don't know how TimeMachine does it. It sounds similar to what we did when I used to manage a backup system for a university department. There is an option to 'Thin' the versions much as is done on TimeMachine. Code42 provides an option to never delete them on the backup or to keep them forever I certainly don't want them deleted on the backup when I delete them on my computer, but I don't want to hang on to them forever, either. Copy the keyId into the first field in Arq. Choose which bucket you’d like it to have access to (optional). Click on the Show Account ID and Application Key link.

Assuming there might be some better options now geared towards pro audio/video with end-to-end encryption. If you want to use a B2 application key: Log into . Borg is 1.4x-3.5x slower than Restic for both initial backup and incremental backups for some people, but Borg is also faster than Restic for other people (they say Restic was 10x slower for the incremental backups and used so much RAM that the process died a few times). Not for daily use, just as a daily backup via Chronosync. Arq Backup provides a desktop client that you can connect to several storage options, including some of our best cloud storage providers, such as Dropbox, Microsoft. I can find no explicit information about what happens to the copy on the backup device. Curious what other post-audio folks, especially freelancers, are using to backup their main work drives in 2022 (besides their local drive backups). But I'm particularly concerned about what happens to a file that I accidentally or purposely delete on my computer. So far I am unimpressed by the retention options. Packaged solution-client is designed for cloud and just does its thing as long as you. Estimated osts are close enough that I am mostly indifferent (backblaze is 50 a year, cloud storage varies by quantity, but will probably end up similar). I noticed that my DT databases in Arq Cloud were only a small fraction of their actual size, so I restored one of the databases as a test. I am using Arq Cloud Backup - just started one-month trial.

(Also, I would like to back up to a device at home as well as to the cloud, an option that went away when I did the more-or-less forced migration from Crashplan to Code42.) Run the Backblaze client, or use Arq with a cloud storage service (like Backblaze B2). First, thanks for a great update I have switched from DTPO2 to DTP3.

The first pane displayed, simply 'Settings', contains general backup settings.

I installed a trial of Arq on my Windows 10 computer, hoping for better retention options than I get with Code42, which I am currently using. Backblaze Settings (General) (Win) The Backblaze settings are broken up into categories, each with its own pane. This is my first post to Reddit, so I hope I'm doing it right.
