Bitwarden.

Thanks for that info, exactly what I needed. Since I’m perfectly happy with v8 I’ll wait till just a few days before my 6 month window runs out to pull the trigger on the upgrade.

I had a perpetual license of Macrium Home that I purchased several years ago. A few days ago I purchased a new perpetual license to replace that existing license to prepare for the Macrium X rollout. Based on the upgrade info I looked at on the Macrium website I have 6 months to decide whether I...

I use Thunderbird on Windows and the gmail mail app on my iPhone and iPad.

I went with Macrium Reflect (MR) years ago (don’t remember the exact number of years but it’s been a while). I have it set to automatically do daily images (full once a week with incrementals in between) to a Synology NAS. I have only had to do a restore twice but it was simple and took less...

OK, but the IMO is the only thing that matters to me but everyone has their own opinions which are valid and relevant to them. Just because certain features/functions/capabilities/performance matter to me doesn't mean they don't matter to someone else. Different strokes for different folks and...

All true but the fact that we are participating in a discussion thread about the BU solution that we are currently using IMO would imply that we are in fact using a BU solution and do understand our requirements/needs. I know I have tried/used several BU solutions till finally settling on MR...

...except for the Ford drivers, there is no excuse for that...LOL...JK

Yes, it came installed in the laptop and I am pleased with it's performance as well.
