This computer has not had a successful backup recently

Question

Despite the above mentioned critical notification in Health Monitioring, all other indications state that backups have been successful. This warning has only started appearing since I reconnected the client machines to the server. Any idea on how to fix?
Have disabled client backups and re-enabled them to no avail....

Hi TinkererNZ,
Would you let me confirm whether you can back up successfully when this warning persists? Please let me know
if have installed some third-party protection programs. Such as Symantec or McAfee protection. If installed, please temporarily disable them and firewall, then check if the warning still exists.
Please open
Run and type services.msc, then click OK. In Services, please navigate to
Volume Shadow Copy service and check if this service is started.
Meanwhile, please refer to the following operations and check COM access permissions.
Open
Run and type dcomcnfg, then click OK. The Component Services will appear.
In the left panel, expand the Component Services section, and then expand the Computers section.
My Computer option will appear.
Please right click
My Computer and select Properties.
In
My Computer Properties, please select COM Security tab. Under
Access Permissions, please click “Edit Default…” button.
Under
Group or user names, please add NETWORK SERVICE
and then click OK.
Then please monitor the result.
In addition, please navigate to the path in Registry Editor: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\VssAccessControl
Please check the value of “NT Authority\NetworkService” was set to
1.
