Windows Server Backup unable to backup anything but system state
I've got a Windows Server 2012 Essentials server that backup fails on start. I am however able to run a system state backup with command:
wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:D:
If I try to backup C: drive with this command:
wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:D: -include:C:"
It fails right at start with wbadmin giving this output at the end:
The Windows Backup engine could not be contacted. Retry the operation.
The RPC server is unavailable.
The only Event Viewer errors I have to go by are:
Application log - Application Error 1000
Faulting application name: wbengine.exe, version: 6.2.9200.16384, time stamp: 0x50108cb6

The Block Level Backup Engine Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
Any thoughts on this?

I get the same thing when scheduled through Windows Server Backup MMC or from command line. When running in command prompt, it is an administrative command prompt.
Remove the Windows Server Backup Feature (and confirm). Once done, add the Feature again.

I had tried removing feature and adding back yesterday with no change. I did not reboot between.

It is no longer an issue that we need resolves as we are going away from Windows Server Backup as a backup solution. It has eaten up too much time to be worth finding a solution for.
These helped me:

If it is manual do you run it from an elevated command prompt?
