buying Macrium Reflect Home

You won't be disappointed, I am certain. And congratulations on being a part of the minority who implement a sound backup strategy! We see too many folks who lose everything to ransomware or other malware, compounded by the fact that all drives eventually fail.

Thanks for posting back to let us know what you decided. Macrium Reflect Home is the best personal backup application IMHO!

Good luck. Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

I can confirm the free version downloader installs the new version V8.0.7690.

Macrium Halloween Sale

20% off Reflect 8 Home Annual Plan

Is this a new discount or what?

Yeah, it's a discount. But the annual plan is still far more costly than the One time payment.
They'll have a discount on the One time, sooner or later.

I'd suggest, just getting the free version of AOMEI, and wait for a decent sale on the Macrium One Time Payment option.

And what makes the annual plan Christmas discount even worse is that it's only for one year, and then it reverts to the full price.

Now Hasleo has Delta Restore free of charge (which was my main reason for using MRH), it is debatable if I will upgrade my V8 versions - V9 would have to be exceptional, and even then I would only upgrade on my main laptop.

It might pay to wait until a decision is made about the pricing structure for Reflect 9.
I'm pretty sure that no decision has been made yet.

Will you use Version 9 of Macrium Reflect when it comes out if it becomes lease only?

I wanted to subscribe to the annual plan, but it seemed to me that the discount would only be for the first year, and I would not get it when renewing the subscription, in addition to the annual subscription price of $49.99 / year, which I consider very expensive and not worth it.

So I bought the permanent plan, which unfortunately for me did not find a discount on it like before. It appears from the link listed on their website that this is a prelude to making the plan only annual, and I think that would be very bad.
