windows server backup was already installed which was used long ago, but now it is not showing anywhere to open. this is my domain controller server 2016 standard(GUI).

I have searched some articles where it says to install the Network Load Balancing feature. but why should I install this as there are 5 servers with the same OS version on that Windows server backup is running properly without any extra things installed.

I tried uninstalling the Windows server backup feature then reboot then reinstalling the Windows server backup then reboot but still same issue.

again I tried to uninstall the Windows server backup feature then reboot then reinstall the Windows server backup providing the source from windows server 2016 setup source folder, it get install and then reboot but still same issue.

    Try

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1496256/backup-console-missing

    It works for me in Windows Server 2022 Standard

    Network Load Balancing must be installed first. Don't ask me why.

    It's not in dependencies.

    Hi,

    Please give a try to the following PowerShell command. Open Windows PowerShell as administrator and run

    Install-WindowsFeature -Name Windows-Server-Backup -IncludeAllSubFeature -IncludeManagementTools

    To open Windows Server Backup, run mmc.exe from the start menu, then select "Add/Remove Snap-in" and add the Windows Server Backup snap-in.

    Also run wbadmin.exe in the PowerShell window to see if you can create backups.
