Here is the black friday, usually the best time to get Macrium licenses. But this year the sale is really disappointing. https://www.macrium.com/products/home
There is no discount on single license, and only 25% on the 4 machine license. Last year it was 50%. They also introduced a stupid subscription plan, which is discounted to hell to lure people in.
But subscriptions for offline backup is a huge no-no. I won’t pay yearly ransom to use my own data on my own drives. It was one of the reasons why I ditched Acronis (and there were other reasons to be honest).
Looks like I have to start the endless search again for a good image backup software.
I see no problem here. Black Friday Subscription is cheaper then Black Friday Discounts last years. I will make a subscription for one year and cancel it. Then in 2024s Black Friday I will start a new Subscription
This is a way to cheat the system, fun to do with spotify or anything not critical, but it’s not a game I want to play with my backups.
What if they don’t give such discounts next year? Or the discounts will be for new users only, so you have to use a different email, maybe a different credit card, each year. You will end up paying more or left without backups.
