hi,

before going further, please let me know whether it’s windows server 2012 essentials or windows server 2012 r2 essentials?

would please let me know whether monthly backup manual backup or automatic backup? on dashboard, open properties of client computer , click backup tab, navigate monthly backup , click “view details” button. when backup details panel appeared, please check if manage backup automatically?

in addition, please type taskschd.msc in run open task scheduler, follow path: task scheduler library-> microsoft-> windows-> windows server (if it’s windows server 2012 r2 essentials, please follow path: task scheduler library-> microsoft-> windows-> windows server essentials). please navigate backup cleanup scheduled task (this task applied backup retention policy clean client computer backup database) , check if status of task ready. meanwhile, open properties, click history tab , check if find relevant warning or error.

if update, please feel free let me know.

hope helps.

best regards,

justin gu
