Yes, chained backup is a feature available only in the PRO version - the man page says so (see (c)XSIBackup Classic Man Page section "Options exclusive to XSIBACKUP-PRO")

But on the other hand the output of the free version is misleading. It always gives this "tip" at the end of each backup job:
"Tip: no chained backups scheduled, set --on-success and/or --on-error arguments to chain a backup"

Which would make the user think this option were available in the free version...
