- Incredibly reliable. Never misses finding modified files. The developer really understands the significance of the lifecycle of data management. Copy vs Backup. Incremental vs Complete. Content checksums vs file modify date. You can't go wrong trusting your data to Arq. I wouldn't recommend anything else. I've used it for 8 years now and it hasn't let me down. sdrawkcab • May 2018

The most eye candy I have ever seen

Time Machine's interface is incredibly, unnecessarily flashy. I like it. It's way better than boring old system restore on Windows.
