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
