But if I have purchased cloud storage somewhere, wouldn't i already get that?

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Jan 16 '19, 20:32

say, like dropobox. that's cloud storage, and I assume (?)it has automatic backup. Why would I then also want to pay for Arq?

Responses:

I have more data than dropbox allows me to store, so I use Amazon S3. It does not have a dropbox-style interface, it is purely raw storage. - Beryllium Jan 16, 20:35 7

  - The should be a function lock which will invert those keys back around -- nm - Karl_S Jan 17, 03:59
  - There's usually a software setting to invert that. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 20:52 3
    - F5 ... that's refresh, right? Technically not necessary on SlackerTalk. Just press the period key (.). -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 20:53 2
      - more for running sql -- nm - JaxSean Jan 16, 21:23 1
        
        Oh, fair point. I should use that more when I run my IDE tests ... usually I just use the mouse. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 21:30
- Of course, I should also entertain the theory that it's not the right fit. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 20:38
