This is a virtual Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard version running on Virtual Host installed on a Windows 7 ultimate. Any help? Thanks.

  • Have you tried reinstalling the role? Also, try doing a manual backup through wbadmin command line tools. – PnP Jun 18 '13 at 22:26
  • Just to clarify: Windows Server Backup is a Feature, not a Role. – joeqwerty Jun 19 '13 at 01:42
  • This is the background of how I started seeing the problem. I installed the Windows Server Backup from PowerShell and later on installed the Command-line Tools from the Control Panel. – Omar Shehab Jun 19 '13 at 13:39
  • @TheD I re-installed the feature and tried both 'Backup Schedule' and 'Backup Once'. I am getting the same error message. – Omar Shehab Jun 19 '13 at 14:47
  • @joeqwerty Yes, sorry, feature! Have you tried using wbadmin through command prompt to run a backup? – PnP Jun 19 '13 at 17:50

I had the same issue with Backup an Win2008 R2 server in VirtualBox over a shared folder. My solution was a second virtual VHD drive (VHD because of restore into Hyper-V), where i backed up onto. That worked for me at the end and I could restore from that drive into Hyper-V afterwards as well.
