Hi Gerardo!

Thank you for your answer!

I tried this procedure before, but without success. I've check system settings and in a Windows Security center Backup settings is empty too (it is not possible edit settings):

 

 

My Windows 2019 I have from offical partner's site.

So, looks like a bug, but I wan to know experts opinion before I open support ticket.

What you think?

 

EDIT:

I've installed Hyper-V feature and installed the same ISO image as g auest machine - Windows Backup is available without added role... I'm a bit confused.

So, I have only way to resolve this issue: reinstall Windows Server 2019 STD. It's weak :/

Hi Kris,

You won't find Windows Server Backup in the Settings app, it is found in Windows Administrative Tools as a separate application.

Another thing to try, run PowerShell as administrator and type:

Get-WindowsFeature *backup*

 

 This should show if Server Backup is actually installed.

Cheers.

 

EDIT: ignore my PowerShell cmdlet- it shows as available in Windows 2019, but is still installed as per my previous post. Yes, obviously a bug.

    Hi Gerardo!

    Thank you for your engagement! You're right - Windows Server Backup feature already installed, but not usable :/

    So, I installed Hyper-V role and installed WIndows Server 2019 as virtual machine (from the same image) and... Windows backup are available! (LOL).

    Finally, I've reinstalled whole server - right now WIndows Backup are available in Server manager, but for perform backup I must add backup feature. Initial backup was performed, this night Windows will be updated as I planed.

    Tomorrow let you know about effect.

    Many thank's!

    Kris
