Windows Server Backup app problem in Windows Server 2019

Dear All,

The problem mentioned in the subject may be quite simple one. But for me it is a big head ache to find what might be the cause. I believe in this community and let me explain my problem in detail.

Few days ago I tried installing WINDOWS DEPLOYMENT SERVICES in my company DOMAIN CONTROLLER which is running in WINDOWS SERVER 2019 and succeeded in that attempt.

But I changed my mind later and then I removed that feature. The very next day what happened was, when I tried to do backup of my windows server I found the backup feature is missing. Here are the steps what I did to bring it back.

1. Tried updating the server through windows update. Nothing worked.
   
2. Tried mounting the windows server 2019 OS image file from microsoft website and enabling the feature from DISM and Get commands. Nothing worked in this case too.
   
3. Used the same DISM to use online source for repairing the system image. Also didn't work.
   

The server OS previously installed was Windows Server 2016 by the software vendor and then they updated it to Windows Server 2019. Whenever I am trying the above fixes it is showing only one error "SOURCE NOT FOUND".

I finally installed VEEAM backup and took the server's whole backup.

But I want to know why this WINDOWS SERVER BACKUP feature missed from the server suddenly.

Can anyone help?

 

Windows Server 2016 Upgrade

When updating from windows server 2012 R2 to server 2016, I'm not getting the step by step procedures where you can select keep file and apps and other steps. I just get the setup screen, which after couple of minutes it display a window to select what type of windows server you want to install.

Once selected it does a full install of windows server 2016, which re-images the C drive. Afterwards you have to re-install all your applications.

Any suggestions on why it doesn't go through the step by step procedures.

Thank you,

Ron
