Re: Crashplan: I recently learned that Crashplan will fail silently to backup most of your data over 1TB. The only fix is allocating it more RAM via a console command. None of this is made known up front, I didn't notice until I tried to restore files that weren't there.

Re: Arq: It used to have issues with missing files. Has anyone restored from an Arq/Google backup recently that can speak to the reliability?

This is not true. Source: I've restored TBs of backups multiple times from crash plan and never once have I issued a console command.
