    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.

Guys i´ve discovered how to fix it finally after some days !! But you will need another folder from another server that has windows-server-backup feature working. So you will need just copy the folder WinSxS from C:\Windows\WinSxS and paste it to the server that is getting this issue with windows-server-backup feature. Then you open cmd and run this command:

Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WindowsServerBackup /Source:C:\WinSxS /LimitAccess

 

Done ! just try to open the Backup from the server that it will works. It Worked for me !
