Arctera Backup

Arctera Backup is a simple and reliable backup program that keeps copies of your important files and computer data safe.
It automatically makes a second copy of your photos, documents, and other files so you can get them back if your computer crashes, gets stolen, or something gets deleted by mistake.
Arctera Backup stores these backup copies in DiskSpace S3-compatible object storage as its main place to keep your backed-up files, which lets it save huge amounts of data without worrying about running out of space.
This approach makes backups cheaper, easier to grow as you add more files, and very safe because the storage is designed to protect your data for many years.
