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.
** Mount .iso Windows Server installation file (ex: local drive E:)
** Create folder "mount" in C:\
mkdir C:\mount
** Get Windows version index:
Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:E:\sources\install.wim
** Index : 4 - Name : Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Evaluation (Desktop Experience)
Dism /mount-wim /wimfile:E:\Sources\install.wim /index:4 /mountdir:C:\mount /readonly
Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:WindowsServerBackup /Source:C:\mount\Windows\WinSxS
** Clean up old backups:
wbadmin delete catalog
