Do I need an account?
No. The free edition works without signing in, with two backup jobs to local and USB drives and incremental backups.
What does a paid plan add?
Signing in with any paid Motaware plan adds NAS destinations, mirror mode, backups of open files, every trigger, email reports and a command line. Plans with advanced features add verification, retention rules and more. See Pricing.
Can I restore my files if my plan ends?
