We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

What is the cons of staying on the Macrium Reflect free version? (alien.top)

I asked a similar question before but got no response. So I'm attempting to rephrase it: is there any cons to using Macrium Reflect free after 2023? If the software works, why move to either the subscription or license?

I'm in the process of finally having the drives to setup 3-2-1 backups. I've heard great things about MR free but I'm wondering if I NEED to get the latest version with paid license. I understand it won't be supported after 2023, but not sure what I'll lose if it works well enough now.

Am on the same boat. But more worried about getting vendor locked out of my old images.
