| ▲ | sreitshamer an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | (Arq developer here) Haven't gotten many requests for it at all over the years. I presume it's because there are so many free options for Linux. | | |
| ▲ | bartvk an hour ago | parent [-] | | Just wanted to say that for many years, Arq has been my backup solution. It's amazing and I advise it to everyone I know. |

| ▲ | CamperBob2 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | If it's open-source, Linux support is only a few hours with Claude away. If it's not open-source, but the protocol is documented, see above. If it's not open-source, and the protocol isn't documented, well... that makes the decision easy, doesn't it? | | |
| ▲ | cobertos 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Backups software written by Claude? No thanks. I've used enough Claude coded applications that I wouldn't trust that with a backup, unless it had extensive tests along with it. | | |

| ▲ | CamperBob2 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | And I've used enough "gold standard" commercial applications, like the one being discussed in this very article, that I don't trust those either. If you recoil in horror at code written by LLMs, I'm afraid that the vendors you're already working with have some really bad news for you. You can get over it now or get over it later. You will get over it. I can audit and verify Claude's output. Code running at BackBlaze, not so much. Take some responsibility for your data. Rest assured, nobody else will. | | |
| ▲ | samspot 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | You are not wrong, but I just don't have time. My choices are pay someone or throw my hands up. I have been paying backblaze. But I recently had a drive die, and discovered the backups are missing .exe and .dll files, and so that part of the restore was worthless. What time I do have, I've been using to try and figure out photo libraries. Nothing is working the way I need it to. The providers are a mess of security restrictions and buggy software. | |

| ▲ | CamperBob2 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's the general conclusion you will draw after reading the comments on this story, yes. |

| ▲ | CamperBob2 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | You can remain blissfully unaware of it. And you can read many accounts of the outcome of that strategy in this very thread. |

| ▲ | CamperBob2 an hour ago | parent [-] | | My favorite Peanuts comic was always the one where Linus is standing at an intersection next to a 'Push Button To Cross Street' sign. He is sucking his thumb and clutching his blanket despondently. In the last panel, Charlie Brown tells him, "You have to move your feet, too." |
