I would start from scratch
download the hotfix and apply it to the server

uninstall the connector on the client
surf to servername/connect and install the client
reboot
do windows update
reboot
try a manual backup

Seems to be going from bad to worse. Now, backup isn’t working for any of the computers on the network. When I try to customize the settings for any backup I get:
The backup is not successfully setup
an unknown error prevented the server from performing this task. Make sure that all services on the server are running
How do I know which services to check?

I restarted the server for the 3rd time and started the server SQM service and it seems to be working now -

So fiddly

Thanks for your help with this. Backup has completed now. Such a bumpy ride.
