Hi all, i have windows server 2016 essentials backing up a number of clients.

I have just got a surface laptop which has joined the server fine but fails backup at 1%.

Any ideas?

Check the laptop logs and watch for any connectivity issues like the laptop going to sleep or turning off the WIFI. Beyond that, look into the free space and VSS working.

thanks, showing lots of vss errors. others have had similar problems, for some reason the system had 2 vss clients running, the normal windows one and also hyper-v. deleting the hyper v client has stopped the errors and now backing up fine.
