Unable to install Windows Server Backup on Windows 2019 Essentials
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 !
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
