Arq 5.8.5 for Mac Fixes a Bad Bug
I hate writing blog posts like this. In Arq 5.7.9 we changed the way Arq caches the list of objects at the destination for AWS, Google Drive and Google Cloud Storage. For those 3 destination types, all non-packed objects were stored in one “objects” directory. If you had years of backups and/or terabytes of data, […]
