Hi Alex

Thank you for your case number.
While you wait for an answer, can you check if WMI works properly? If not, a WMI reset may be required.

I checked C:\Windows\System32\wbem\Repository\Objects.Data is only 27 mb

Ran command: winmgmt /verifyrepository and got
WMI repository is consistent

However when I opened Computer Management and check Properties under WMI Control and got error message:

Failed to initialize all required WMI Classes.
Win32_Processore: WMI Invalid Class
Win32_WMISetting WMI: Invalid Class
Security InformationL Succesfull
WIn32_OperatingSystem: Invalid Class


Just wondering if that points to WMI Corruption?

Thank you. Issue is resolved.
I was able to create a backup job after rebuilding the repository.

Steps taken:
1. Run command: Winmgmt /resetrepository
2. Reboot Server.
