Hi Aaron,
Based on your description, I understand that you opened Windows Server Backup and then hang at “Reading Data.
Please wait.”
Please check if you have installed all necessary Updates for the Windows Home Server 2011. Please also check
if encounter the same issue when you open Windows Server Backup via Microsoft Management Console. Would you please let me confirm whether any third-party application was installed in the Windows Home Server 2011? Meanwhile, would you please check whether find
any relevant error in any event log?
On current situation, please run
sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files and then monitor the result.
In addition, please refer to following article and check if help you to repair Windows Home Server 2011.
Restore or repair your server using the
installation DVD
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
