Other backup tools often required multiple liscensed copies of their software that would have to be individually managed on each home PC. Ideally I would like to all, or most, of these in a replacement product and more.Ī) WHS 2011 could be installed on the home PC via a webpage. Here are the features that are most important to me.

I'm wondering what other people have found as a replacement for WHS 2011? To use backup capabilities that WHS 2011 had? That may or may not be a problem in suggesting Essentials as an alternative to WHS? I have never seen Essentials myself so I have no idea if it even has the easy $400 for software puts Essentials out of the reach of most home or small office customers. Some people are saying that Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Essentials is the "replacement,"īut that sells for about $400 while WHS 2011 was about $50-$100. Some time ago I read that Micrsoft would discontinue WHS, that WHS 2011 was the end of the line for Microsoft home servers, but I'm surprised to see it happen so soon. (Other than used copies on Ebay.) I see that someone else has run into a similar problem in A few days ago I was trying to buy a copy of WHS 2011 for a customer, but I couldn't find anyone online that is selling the product anymore in the US.
