Reliable

Backup files are compressed and stored on Amazon’s resilient S3 cloud architecture so that you know your backups will be available rain or shine.

Secure

Do you have a Certificate Authority .pem file for encrypting your connections via SSL? If so, you can provide that with your configuration to ensure our connection to your server is also cryptographically secured.

Our intuitive dashboard gives you complete control over your backups. Easily modify your backup schedule, configuration, security, and server credentials all with a few clicks.

Transparent

Important log information is saved and displayed on the Ark dashboard both for testing and troubleshooting purposes. Logged output is listed with the backup file name for easy reference.
