Unable to install Windows Server Backup on Windows 2019 Essentials
Trying to install Windows Server Backup feature on a newly installed Windows 2019 Essentials server. When trying to install it comes back with the below error: Install-WindowsFeature : The reques...
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.
I just went through this and thought I may give another method to resolve the issue.
Install Hyper-V
Install Windows Server (Same Distro)
Install Windows Updates (Patch to current state of problematic server)
Share Windows folder of newly installed server
When installing the feature point the external source to the newly shared windows folder
This should fix your issues.
