One technical thing to note:

Although the application itself is not open source, the developer has open-sourced a restore tool, to help ease the "what if they go out of business" concerns:

https://github.com/sreitshamer/arq_restore

Also, somebody else has created a Go utility that can read the backup format:

https://github.com/asimihsan/arqinator

Finally, if you really wanted to do it all yourself, the data format is documented here:

It needs updating for Arq 5. I'm working on right now.
