Has anyone tried both this and Crashplan? My Crashplan 10-computer subscription comes up for renewal soon so I'd be interested in people's experiences of how they compare. Generally I've found Crashplan to be pretty good. I like the way it backs up in frequent small increments and I like the backup destination options (cloud, folder, other PC, etc.). Does Arq compare well?

Arq can’t send backups directly to a hard drive, but it can use an SSH (SFTP) server as a destination.

[Edit: Apparently the release notes for Arq 5 says it can now back up to a local folder.]

I have never tried Crashplan though. The main reason I chose Arq instead is the impression that Arq has a better thought-out encryption scheme.
