I switched to Arq with Glacier as my "House Burns Down" backup, as I already backup to a Time Machine external drive at home. I'm very happy with it, but of course, I've never tried to get the data back yet.

Not to be that guy, but... if you don't have a tested restoration plan for a backup, you don't have a backup!

Nothing's worse than losing all your data with no backup... except for losing all your data and going to restore from your backup, only to find that all your data there is gone as well!


Agreed. When Arq finishes its backup, I'll do a verification.

I appreciate you being "that guy" :)
