[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1103349, member: 114717"] What you do is what most people do with a backup solution - use only its basic features. Those advanced features make sense only for a business that needs those features and it needs the business support that Macrium provides. Home users do not get that kind of support with their subscriptions. You are not really paying for the software. What you are really paying for is the support (and that includes timely bug fixes and security patching). In the case of home users that run into problems with Macrium, they are left with a system that they cannot use and have to use an extra system to access Macrium's community forum for assistance. In an era gone-by Macrium was the big dog. It was the pinnacle of non-enterprise backup and recovery solutions. However, slowly and surely, Macrium has fallen from that position over the years due to it being expensive and having a licensing subscription model that is not financially justified for home users.
