File Backup Without Compromise. Total Control. Ultimate Protection.

With Arq Backup, you get powerful, private, and flexible file backup — without sacrificing control.
No limits. No vendor lock-in. No compromises.

Arq backs up your data to your own cloud accounts, external drives, or NAS devices, all protected by strong end-to-end encryption. Only you can read your files — no one else, not even your storage provider.

Total Privacy and Security

• End-to-End Encryption: Your files are encrypted before they leave your computer.
• Your Cloud, Your Choice: Back up to Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, SFTP servers, NAS, external drives, and more.
• No Vendor Lock-in: Your backups stay yours — accessible anytime, anywhere.

Go Back in Time

• Point-in-Time Snapshots: Capture perfect backups even while files are changing.
• Backup History: Keep multiple versions of your files — retrieve older versions anytime if you face corruption, accidental deletion, or ransomware attacks.
• Unlimited Retention: Never lose a backup, even if the drive or device isn’t reconnected.

Back Up to Multiple Destinations

• External hard drives
• Network shares (NAS)
