Absolutely agree. I have had it save my butt a few times when I damaged an important file and was able to pull an older version, but every single time I have done this, it made me trust their tooling for whole system recovery less and less. I do wish there was a better option. Currently considering Arq for the next computer.

I use Arq on a Mac Mini to have last resort offsite copies of my Time Machine backups on AWS Glacier. I must be breaking some proper backup practices, but I know nothing about nothing. Being the guy who knows nothing, I can say Arq is great. It allows you to dissociate the backup software from the backup service, which means I get to have a piece of software I know runs well, and is financed by my 50$ purchase price.
