Of course, for some people the superiority of Arq’s encryption and Amazon’s reliable data centers may make the price worth it. The only disadvantage to Arq is the price.
SYNCOVERY VS ARQ SOFTWARE
For restore situations, I will use the Windows version for now, setup with the same encryption details.Developer, Super Flexible Software Ltd. It may be possible in command line, not something I want to entertain if possible
SYNCOVERY VS ARQ HOW TO
For the non IT pro, once setup I think it is ok to understand for monitoring and with some documentation how to restore etc… Simple GUI but with lots of options, good for the IT pro.Netdrive (to be used with traditional ‘non cloud’ backup software): I prefer something realtime so I can measure stats more accurately. I didn’t like the way it caches and uploads later, I think this ‘confused’ some software too. I wasn’t experiencing this with other software around the same timeĮxpandrive (to be used with traditional ‘non cloud’ backup software): Support claims this is an ACD issue, it may well be and could have been situational. Support responds ok, not the fastest but within 48 hours.Dumbed down GUI, but functional and good if someone inherits this setup.Bottom line, I personally don’t have time to correct data errors unless the ‘repair button’ just works first time, my internet does have a habit of randomly dropping out Multiple attempt to get data consistent failed. Upon resume, it was insisting a database repair was needed.
SYNCOVERY VS ARQ DOWNLOAD
Download approx 100Mb (could have been situational).Realised it didn’t support filename or foldername encryption for ACD or gdrive.Expensive to get unlimited data version.Whatever tracking or state mechanism it uses seems to be flawed or needs further development Upon resuming it appears to insist uploading the data again. Backups stopped from time to time, perhaps due to an issue outside of the software (e.g server crash, internet goes down).Still seems quite new and needs development.Software will run on a VM, single physical low CPU power Hyper-V server with a few VM’s (AMD A6-3670).Must ‘just work’ (I have enough IT to do in my day job!).Ideally must be free or cost less than £100, fixed one off cost price model.Software must support encryption, and of filenames and folders.Has a simple to operate GUI, the person performing future maintenance/restores might not be me and likely not at IT expert.I have spent the last 2-3 weeks evaluating solutions. I have no need to mount the destination as a usable mount point by other applications. I know rclone isn’t traditional backup software, but that is ultimately what I was going to need. I was using rclone/rclone browser to ACD before the ban, I have since got a gdrive account as well. Just thought the following mini reviews may be helpful.
