Question:
I am encountering an issue when trying to open the Windows server backup tool. Here are error details from Event Viewer:

Please assist, this the second time I am encountering this issue. First I deleted the backup catalog with the hope that it will delete corrupted metadata. The error was cleared , however when i try to restore the catalog to be able to access the backups the issue resurfaces. Now this is the second time months later.
Addition information:
- No updates installed on the day the application crashed.
- The server was gracefully restarted earlier that day. Thats all. \\
