Perpetual license users abandoned
I use to like Acronis Backup software. I found it irritating when they focused on off-site backups since I have 40 TB and there is now way I can afford that backed up to the cloud. Then they announced a new product that was subscription only. I asked where are the maintenance releases for the rest of us? It is really to bad they decided to die by subscriptions. I know they will not get subscription money from my retirement income.

Time to find a different backup utility.
ATI had become worse over time, and now they want money in perpetuity.
Not happening
