macrium +1 Grin

Is the macrium free version good enough or should I get the home version? Which do you use? If I bought the home version, do they do some clever licensing to force you to keep buying newer versions each year? (kind of like VMware does with Fusion.. it's so annoying).

I installed the Free version. Making the recovery media now (Windows PE).

Do you boot Windows PE then do the backup, or do you use the live cloning? Only thing I fear about live cloning is that malware could access the backup drive and mess with the backup images.. thinking it's best to clone by booting the recovery media.
