Any recommendations for a good non-subscription-based alternative? I could setup syncthing for files, and I have URbackup for images, but I always relied on Macrium more than URbackup. What do other people use?
Why have you removed the one-time license option?
Many of our home customers’ feedback indicated a preference for the certainty provided by an annual plan. The annual plan offers assurance that you always have access to the latest version with innovations such as improvements we’ve made in compression speeds and algorithms. It also ensures you have access to critical updates and are protected against new threats and risks. Lastly, our annual plan ensures you always have access to technical support (one-time licenses only offer 12 months of support).

I think they made that up. I highly doubt their customers expressed any such preference.

It’s “many” like in “Many people on twitter are saying…” i.e. they found 3 or 4 people saying crazy shit and acted like it was a big thing.
Everyone who goes from having a lifetime/onetime license to a subscription uses the same excuse: “it’s our users who want us to make more money”
Really can’t trust their software if they flat out lie like that.
Thank you for the compilation, I’ll take a look at these.
