    I think 753 and 754 are the event ID numbers, but in look in the organization here:

    • Applications and Services Logs | Microsoft | Windows | Backup | Operational

    Also you can search by "Microsoft-Windows-Backup" as the long name of the log.

    Hi Shawn,

    I have found that log but it only contains

    (1) The backup operation has started.

    (4) The backup operation has finished successfully.

    (14) The backup operation has completed.

    It's the same even if the backup didn't complete successfully. I was hoping that there would be some details logged somewhere about any errors found, but I cannot find them.

    Cannot find any 753, 754 events logged.

    Dave
