What's new in this version: Arq Backup Version 7.13.4
Fixed:
- Fixed a license activation issue for some customers
- Fixed an issue that could cause a 'missing date in license data' error for lifetime license customers
- Changed the backup plan editor to allow editing of a backup folder's settings even when the volume is not connected
Arq Backup Version 7.13
Changed:
- Added documentation for creating immutable backups with B2
- Show a more useful error message 'Cloud file contents not present on disk' when maOS returns 'Resource deadlock avoided' for contents-not-present type files
Fixed:
- an issue with the display of updates end date in Arq's preferences
- an issue that could cause multiple dialogs to appear when an error occurs during search
Arq Backup Version 7.12
Changed:
- Changed Arq's behavior regarding unknown objects found when adopting backup sets (or upgrading from Arq 5). On first backup after adopting a backup set, Arq will initialize its database from existing data as much as possible; it will reuse objects as much as it can and leav the remaining objects alone. The "Remove Unreferenced Data" function will delete all unreferenced data, including objects found during initialization that weren't referenced by any backup record that Arq was successfully able to read during initialization. This resolves the scenario where, with Arq 5, the user may have deleted backup records but not executed Arq 5's "Remove Unreferenced Data" function.
- Retry on HTTP 408 errors
- Changed the retention behavior: When applying retention rules after backup, Arq now writes to the activity log every backup record date/time and whether it was kept or deleted
Fixed:
- Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when clicking "Create Backup Plan" with no storage locations configured (which causes the add-storage-location dialog to appear) and then clicking Cancel on the add-storage-location dialog.
Arq Backup Version 7.11
Fixed:
- an issue where Arq would report an error for an SFTP storage location where the path is a symlink to a directory (instead of a regular directory)
- an issue where, when browsing Arq 5 data, if you enter an incorrrect password, Arq returns an error message instead of prompting a second time for an encryption password
- an issue where Arq could initialize its database from existing backup records, find errors, and report errors for the wrong backup recorsd
Arq Backup Version 7.10.1
Improvements:
- Fixed an issue where, if an APFS volume is unmounted, Arq can give "volume not mounted" errors during subsequent backups of volumes on the same device until ArqAgent restarts
- If Arq fails to establish an SSL session with a Microsoft OneDrive/SharePoint server, retry a few times before giving up, to work around seeming configuration issues on Microsoft's end
- Fixed an issue where Arq may not prevent sleep when the prevent-sleep-during-backup option is checked in the backup plan
Arq Backup Version 7.10
Improvements:
- Added support for Wasabi eu-west-1 (London) region
Fixed:
- Fixed an issue where, if the preflight script fails, file-change notifications are lost until the next full fiile scan
- Fixed issues with applying retention settings
- Removed a workaround that was causing Arq to retry on erroneous Amazon Drive 400 errors (which Amazon Drive seems to have stopped sending)
- If "skip items excluded by Time Machine" option is checked, exclude .Trash and .Trashes, which seem to be hard-coded Time Machine exclude rules
Arq Backup Version 7.9.2
Improvements:
- Added a workaround for Amazon Drive's inconsistency in showing accurate directory contents for just-created directories
Arq Backup Version 7.8.2
Fixed:
- Fixed an issue that could cause 'expired_auth_token' errors when backing up to B2

Fixed:
- Fixed an issue which could cause not-found errors when reusing backup data originally creatd by Arq 3 and stored in Glacier, and then adopted by Arq 5 and then Arq 6 and then Arq 7
- At backup start, check whether computer is on an allowed network before trying to connect to the storage location, to avoid unnecessary error reports
- Updated app icon to a squircle similar to current Apple icons
Arq Backup Version 7.7.2
- Fixed an issue that could cause "PATCH HTTP error 500" errors when encountering multiple folders with the same name in the same folder in Google Drive
Arq Backup Version 7.7.1
- Fixed an issue that could cause "Error: missing error information" when querying S3 and S3-compatible buckets where versioning was enabled, disabled, and then enabled again
Arq Backup Version 7.7
Improvements:
- Added a tooltip over the "Modified" column that describes which values have changed
- Show 'Last Changed' column in backup record detail view to indicate metadata (not file contents) have changed
- Modified APFS snapshot usage to prevent other processes from unmounting Arq's snapshot during backup
- Changed activity log and email report to show more readable numbers like "5 MB" instead of "5,234,221 bytes"

- an issue that could cause a crash when saving a backup plan on macOS 10.11
- an issue that could cause slow database initialization on first backup after upgrading from Arq 5 and using Amazon Drive or Google Drive
- If an error occurs during search, show the error and continue searching the other backup sets
- issues with some menubar icons rendering incorrectly when the menubar's background is dark
- an issue where could cause "Error saving directory metadata" error
- If the volume type is 'nfs', scan it because no file-change notifications are available

- Added support for adopting a backup set that's been copied from a non-object-lock bucket to an object-lock-enabled bucket
- When adding an S3 storage location, if the IAM user doesn't have ListAllMyBuckets permission, prompt for the bucket name instead of reporting an 'access denied' error

Improvements:
- Made search results sortable by column
- Changed 'Total scanned' and 'Total uploaded' messages in activity log to display as MB/GB/TB instead of the number of bytes
Fixed:

- Fixed an issue where communication between Arq Agent and clients (Arq and ArqMonitor) wasn't being encrypted
- Changed the 'Restore...' button's label to 'View Latest Backup Record...' to make it more clear that you're not starting a restore just by clicking the button
Arq Backup Version 7.2.1
Fixed:
- Fixed an issue where, if you changed the backup plan's name, the "blob identifier type" was being reset to SHA256 for the backup plan. If it was originally SHA1 (e.g. for a backup plan upgraded from Arq 5) this could cause re-uploading of data.
- Fixed an issue where restoring from an Arq 6 snapshot stored in Glacier or Deep Archive may not request all needed objects be made "downloadable", causing Arq to wait forever to restore data.
- Changed the assertion used by the prevent-computer-sleep function to prevent sleep when the computer's lid is closed
- Fixed an issue where Arq reported an error attempting to create an APFS snapshot for a read-only volume
Arq Backup Version 7.2

Fixed:
- During backup, retry for all SFTP server connection issues, including DNS lookup failure, for up to 60 seconds
- Skip /Library/Application/ArqAgent/cache.noindex when backing up, not all of /Library/Application Support/ArqAgent
Arq Backup Version 7.1.12
- Change log not available for this version
Arq Backup Version 7.1.11
Improvements:
- Improved efficiency of querying for B2 file lists
- Improved memory management
- Added a workaround for random "Operation canceled" errors from SharePoint
- Changed adding a folder-type storage location to use the path on disk instead of using the disk identifier. If you're backing up to a virtual filesystem (e.g. pCloud Drive) its disk identifier changes with every reboot. This change mitigates that.
Fixed :
- Fixed an issue where ArqMonitor could return an authentication error after user sets app password in Arq
- Fixed an issue where, for all-drives backup plans, Arq wouldn't always match up disk identifiers with existing backup records, resulting in more than 1 folder of backup records

- Allow any entry for UNC path when adding a network volume
- Changed CPU slider appearance to fix an issue where the top of it wasn't visible

- Retry on "protocol wrong type for socket" (EPROTOTYPE) error
- Fixed an issue where entering an Arq Premium license code for an account with a + in the email address would result in 'account not found' error |
