You are correct that you would've needed an Professional license for your case. Personal licenses were basically a 50% discounted option for backing up one's photos and music stash. Re: pricing - it is what it is, sorry. We are trying to move towards pro IT use and the pricing reflects that. Basic license is not really meant for home use, but rather for certain very specific replication scenarios. In fact, I am considering removing it altogether, because it only serves to confuse simpler (read, non-IT) home users into thinking that it's meant for them, while it _is_ quite restricted.
