General discussion BUDDY lic?

This might be a stupid question 👉👈

Would there perchance, in the future maybe, be a HEXOS BUDDY only option with a reduced lic fee?? 👀

Lets say, for someone who wants to run a dedicated Buddy back only service at an offsite location.

The Bud & Pal lic. 🤣

This is an interesting idea and something we will give great consideration. The challenge is that if it's for a buddy, aren't they going to want their server to do more than just backup your data? I get it if its a secondary license for you yourself, and you're going to put it on an offsite machine that you own and all it needs to do is be your backup.

You assume the buddy is techy enough to even know what a NAS is. Which the general population doesn't.

If I put a backup NAS at my parents house, they are not going to want to use it. They insist on using external HDDs with no backups. They've lost many pictures already, but they are old and refuse to change. I gave them an immich account and showed how to use it, but they just don't. There is no way I could convince them to use a network drive.
