Unable to install Windows Server Backup


Recommended Posts

Hi guys and girls,

 

I have inherited a server 2012r2 host with a 2012r2 DC. I am trying to install the Windows Server Backup role using the add roles and features wizard, but keep getting errors (see attached capture).

 

When looking through the server manager dashboard I found the following 3 errors which I think are linked.

I have also tried installing Windows Server Backup using powershell but receive the following error:

 

Add-WindowsFeature Windows-Server-Backup

Add-WindowsFeature : Server execution failed
At line:1 char:1
+ Add-WindowsFeature Windows-Server-Backup
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnSupportedTargetDevice,Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Commands.AddWindowsFeatureComman
   d

I'm not really sure where to start looking to solve this, would anyone be able to help??

 

Many thanks

Apologies for the late reply. Seems the previous company in charge of this server didn't believe in updating servers. After installing a butt load of updates I was finally able to install windows server backup. Thanks for your help :)

    • Mozilla really needed to focus on their core product for a while now. I will not mourn the death of pocket or AI garbage. One thing they don't do that I believe they should is advertise more, and not just to their core audience, especially their additional services. Let people know they actually exist.
    • Is this like tailscale?
    • I had no idea you could do this, thanks for the heads up!
    • Bonkers, really, when you think about the resources at Meta’s disposal.
    • You can now use Gemini in Google Forms to summarize responses by David Uzondu Over the last few months, Google has been aggressively pushing its Gemini AI into every corner of its Workspace apps, like generating entire documents from a prompt in Google Docs or creating fully editable charts in Sheets. Now, the company has set its sights on Google Forms. The latest update introduces a feature that uses Gemini to summarize text-based responses automatically. For any form with short-answer or paragraph questions, a new "Summarize responses" button will appear in the Responses tab once you collect more than three entries. Clicking it prompts Gemini to read the form's title, questions, and all the submitted text to spit out a summary of the key themes. Though Google bills this as a fresh expansion into Forms, we have actually had some Gemini intelligence in the app for a bit through the "Help me create a form" button. That feature, which drafts questions for you, was rolled out through the company's Workspace Labs program. For those unaware, Workspace Labs is basically Google's public testing ground, available in select countries, for new, and sometimes unproven, AI tools before a general release. Once a summary is generated, you can copy it to use elsewhere or hit "Retry" to see if Gemini comes up with a different take. If new responses roll in after you have generated a summary, you can click a "Refresh" button to update it with the latest data. For now, this feature is only available in English, and to use it, you'll need access to a paid Google Workspace plan, such as Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, or Enterprise Plus. It is also available to customers who pay for the Google AI Pro and Ultra plans or specific Gemini Education add-ons. The feature has started rolling out gradually, for Rapid Release domains, and will begin rolling out for Scheduled Release domains on June 26.
