Re: Unable to install Windows Server Backup on Windows 2019 Essentials
This worked for me! I found that you also do not need to actually copy the entire WinSxS folder, you can point to it across a network path. Just replace "HOSTNAME" with the name or IP address of the other machine that has a good WinSxS folder. Much faster than copying gigs of files!
Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WindowsServerBackup /Source:\\HOSTNAME\c$\Windows\WinSxS /LimitAccess
