Hi, looking for some guidance, I had planned to upgrade my WHS2011 server next year with Essentials 2019, and just read they dropped client backups and the remote web access. At this point, I'm not sure I have a use for the product anymore. I can still get essentials 2016 at the moment, but knowing that there will not be a windows upgrade path after that, i'm thinking for $350 for the OS, are there better options to consider. What's the direction everyone else is going, I might add, that I will be getting the HDHR 6 turner prime, if they ever release it to replace my ceton 6Turner ETH. I'm now looking at windows 10 pro as my server OS, or even qnap/synology NAS, but I'm still scared of the linux drive formatting, I like Windows/Drivepool, because I can always get my data after a hardware failure - I do have backups on a 2nd WHS 2011 server and offline backups, of the importance stuff.
Only reason I'm still running WHS2011 is because of media center and the archive plugin, that is it just works.
also, my remote web access with my homeserver.com domain is now dead, as the cert expired, so MS once again, is killing products that would make it a powerhouse with consumers, RIP Zoom, WHS, MCE.
