That usually states the external drive setup has an either in a FAT32 format and needs to be NTFS or you dont have permissions to the drive to access. Also the drive letter might be incorrect, double check your paths and make sure the drive letter or folder your backing up to exists and the permissions to access those.
Try using the WBADMIN cmd line to back it up & see if it works:
WBADMIN START BACKUP -backupTarget:f: -include:c: -allCritical -vssFull -quiet
If it does work for you I'd make sure the server is all up to date on the Windows Updates.
WBADMIN START BACKUP -backupTarget:f: -include:c: -allCritical -vssFull -quiet
If it does work for you I'd make sure the server is all up to date on the Windows Updates.

The external Drive is NTFS and i do have full permission to it as i can access it and create/Delete files on it
I tired the above solution and it does start to backup, So how can I schedule that?
