The killer question is if it is lease only or can we get a perpetual licence. I would consider a perpetual licence if the upgrade deal was ok for one licence. I doubt I would upgrade my other 4 V8 licences though

Well, version 8 you could do either option. Lease for like $40 a computer, or buy for $80 a computer. I would have to assume that they will continue to offer this option.

I follow the 3,2,1 backup rule.
3 copies of my data
2 different backup technologies
1 copy must always be offsite

I work from home and am my own boss, so my data is vitally important to me.

Every evening I make two Macrium Reflect images to two 4TB Samsung T9 SSD's each containing 5 rotating images. My image size is currently 397 GB. The SSD's are only connected for the short time it takes to do an image which is currently averaging 5 minutes 30 seconds to do. I do the two images while I am working in the evening.

I work entirely from my local 1 Terabyte C Drive and all my data is kept in my OneDrive folder. I'm a Microsoft 365 subscriber which includes 1 Terabyte of OneDrive cloud storage. I have OneDrive set to mirror my local OneDrive folder, thus I always have all my work backed up throughout the day in real-time as I work.

That's it. 3,2,1. Three separate copies of my data using Two different technologies. One copy is always offsite and kept in real-time.

That is quite a committed backup schedule. I love it.

I just created an unattended windows install with all my programs installed and reg tweaks and all that good stuff, and then just have some externals as a data backup. That way if anything goes wrong, I just pop my unattended in and then copy my data over and whala. I don't need to bother with system image backups and all that jazz.

I do have macrium though to backup to an external nvme should I need to.
