I see that the AWS S3 IAM user has both read and write access, so if the ransomware authors ever bother with it, they can kill the backups.
Would that help if I setup versioning on the bucket? Will Arq be able to restore backups from the older version of data, before the attack takes place?
Any other ideas?
Bah, I guess hosting a site at digitalocean isn't suitable for HN front page? Even WP super cache isn't saving me.
If you don't want to change your nameservers to Cloudflare (Takes up to 24 hours), try Kloudsec, and enable Offline Protection. Caches (like Cloudflare), and better, it archives your site even if your origin server is down. For Kloudsec, all you have to do is to update your A records to point to the CDN IP.
Also, CloudFlare does offer the offline mode feature, it's called "Always Online". It's also free for more than 1 page, unlike the Kloudsec one.
It also seems weird to me that they bill for their "webshield" on a per-attack basis... someone firing an automated scanner against you could be costing you money big time.
These guys also don't have the same reputation as CF for being bulletproof (though I haven't heard bad things about them yet either) and they have some limits on their free plan which CF does not have.
Interesting though - always glad to see some competition brewing. I know where I'm taking my business if CF steers me wrong somehow. This looks a lot cheaper than other alternatives.
That's _great_ from the standpoint of launching a product. Putting off adding this complexity probably let them get to market sooner.
If I were releasing something like Arq, I would have to fight myself very, very hard to not add these to the 0.1 release. I don't know this space very well, but maybe there are several Arq-alikes who started earlier, but didn't release until later because it wasn't "done" yet, and they missed their chance.
Given the rise of ransomware in the recent months, what protection does Arq offer against that? That thing alone would easily tip the scales for me versus the Time Machine. I see that the AWS S3 IAM user has both read and write access, so if the ransomware authors ever bother with it, they can kill the backups. Would that help if I setup versioning on the bucket?

Although if an attacker has control writing to your s3 bucket, they could rack up a big bill.

Bucket versioning should help with this. I don't use Arq and don't know if it supports s3 bucket versioning, so it might not be convenient but the data would still exist. Although if an attacker has control writing to your s3 bucket, they could rack up a big bill.
Been an Arq user for years now, and recommend it to anyone. Love being able to choose my own storage solution, control encryption keys, etc. For Arq team (saw one or two here), is B2 on the roadmap?
Arq's author has said on Twitter that the B2 API doesn't support all commands Arq needs, so even if B2 support was planned (which it isn't) it wouldn't be possible yet: https://twitter.com/arqbackup/status/717756616578301952

Sorry about that. Should work now.
Thanks. I now get to the store, but it gets a 500 Internal Error trying to verify my key. Also, the Purchase link does embed my Arq 4 license key, but in the form, the upgrade license key field is empty, and I have to find it from my old .arqLicense file and paste it. I don't even know if I'm copying the right thing.
I would just like to point out that this is major release 5 and they're just now adding threading and consumption of filesystem events. That's _great_ from the standpoint of launching a product.
