What it is

Arq Pro centrally manages file backups for company, client, or fleet computers from one web console. The console handles enrolled computers, groups, backup plans, storage locations, activity, alerts, and billing. Groups can share plans, destinations, and application settings that member computers inherit, including user-defined S3-compatible storage. Activity logs highlight computers that have not backed up recently and plans that are failing. macOS and Windows endpoints can be managed together, with unattended deployment through MDM using the installer and arqc command-line tool; named MDMs include Mosyle, Jamf, Kandji, Intune, and Addigy. Ransomware protection is listed. Arq Pro supports macOS, Windows, and web access. The plan costs $250 a month for up to 100 managed computers, plus $2.50 computer monthly. New accounts receive a 60-day trial without entering a payment method.
