Error when backing up a Windows SBS 2011 server.

CAUSE
If Sharepoint Service Pack 1 is installed on SBS 2011, this extra step is needed for backups to be successful. The user must run the “psconfig” command to fix Sharepoint and backups
SOLUTION
- Open an Administrative command prompt
- Change directory to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN
- Run “PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures”
- If backups are still unsuccessful after doing the above, please reboot the VM and try again
