    Running Windows Backup on a Windows Server 2012 to a Network share

    I think the backup is completing & is listed in ALL Backups but I see the message

    "Event Log is inaccessible. Only messages for currently running operations will be displayed."

    Any ideas how to fix the issue?

    Hi JustKaka,

    May I ask you running the WSB (windows server backup feature) to do the backup?

    And when you running from the Windows Server Backup UI, any information in it?

    like this, if it failed, it may log the information. Of course, if it is success, it will also shows the information.

    And could you please also check the event viewer for windows server backup, anything wrong?

    If it still shows no clue, please try uninstalled the old backup feature and re-install to do a check.

    Best Regards,

    Mary

    Any movement on this?  I too have the error that the OP is experiencing.  Mary's answer is meaningless, and literally points to a part of the program that is BLANK because she didn't read the question.

    I have the same problem.

    I have nothing useful to add here.

    Windows 2016 server

    Essentials experience role installed, AD, dhcp, dns, hyper server roles.

    using 2 usb drives for backup

    Working fine until recently.

    Strange how little there is about this when I google..

    Did you ever find any solution?

    Restarting the VSS service worked for me. Give it a try.

    Hi,

    I run windows Backup on Windows Server 2016 and have the same problem. For Some reason my VSS  Service setup for Manual, not automatic and VSS Services was not Started at all. I started it and it seems like this warning despair. But I didn't run after that the backup itself yet.

    In my understanding VSS Services should be setup to automatic run. Is I correct and have to change this setting from manual to automatic?

    Thanx in advance

    For some reason the Volume Shadow Copy service on my server was set to manual. Set to automatic and starting the service fixed it for me.
