Arq is backup software for your Mac or Windows PC.

Arq uses filesystem snapshot technology to make perfect, point-in-time backups of your files, even if your files are changing during the backup process.

Arq keeps multiple backups of your files — a backup history. So if you discover a file was corrupted, or accidentally deleted, or encrypted by a ransomware attack, you can go back and get the old version.
