Ancient-Red-Dragon: No, I was not expecting to get all future versions of Macrium Reflect for free.
Rather, what I was expecting was that I would have the option to pay a one-time fee in order to buy a license which grants
unlimited use of the version for which I have bought a license.
That is what they used to sell, and that was a fair deal.
But now they have changed all that, by suddenly transitioning into a scam model.
Fair enough, and I certainly wouldn't be paying them for a neutered version.
Ancient-Red-Dragon: The free version of Macrium Reflect sucks, because it doesn't allow for incremental backups. That's why I bought a license for version 8 a long time ago, because the paid version does allow for incrementals.
Never bothered with incremental backups. I just do full backups at specific stages. So I'll have a vanilla copy and maybe one or two others. Once I have installed all the essentials, I no longer do backups, as I prefer to work with fairly pristine copies, without any clutter.
Ancient-Red-Dragon: And also, they discontinued the free version a while ago. I guess they did so as the first step on their transition into becoming scammy company, which they have now completed as of this new scammy version "X."
That must have been in the last year, because before that I was using Paragon software. Unless maybe I scored a free full version from somewhere (Deal-Of-The-Day etc).
