Unable to install Windows Server Backup on Windows 2019 Essentials
- Feb 21, 2024
I have gotten this to work simply by doing the following in PowerShell.
Get-WindowsFeature *backup*
Dism /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:WindowsServerBackup
Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WindowsServerBackup
Now it opens fine.
Thanks,

I am having the same issue on Server 2019 Std. Any one have a fix for this yet?
I have tried the following commands:dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow
They all succed with 100% and no errors. then once I run the installation, it comes back with no source found.. even if I provide source file from the wim or from another server, same issue.. very frustrating..
PS C:\Windows\system32> install-windowsfeature windows-server-backup
