Windows Server 2012 R2 backup failure

Question

I am attempting to set a scheduled backup for a windows server device, backing up to a network location. In the windows server backup program, when I click "Backup Schedule" I get this error: There are too few disks on this computer or one or more of the disks is too small. Add or change disks so they match the disks in the backup, and try the restore again.

I have tried many different fixes found on this forum, but to no avail. 

I am unable to view my disks in disk management the local machine, because it "is unable to connect to virtual disk service" even though virtual disk service is running fine, and not blocked by the firewall that I can tell. 

Does anyone have a fix for this? Note that it tells me to try the RESTORE again, even though I am trying to back up, not restore. 

any help would be greatly appreciated.
