Hi All
Just installed the server on a new windows 7 pro machine
The server service didn’t start automaticly.
Trying to start it manually failed with error1053…Same goes to the client on this machine
Please advice

This would be a Windows side issue:
Can you go to C:\Program Files\UrBackupServer
and double click on urbackup_srv.exe
and tell us if there is any error message?
Did you use the MSI installer?
I have almost the exact same issue. I am running the Server on a Windows 2012R2 machine and since upgrading to version 2.0.30 I can no longer start the UrBackup service. When I try to start it, I get the error 1053 error mentioned before. I looked into the solution posted by ttrammell and that only applies to earlier versions of Windows.
I confirmed that the issue is with 2.0.30 because I can downgrade back to 1.4.14 and it works fine again.
When I try to install with the 2.0.30 MSI, I get an error when it tries to start the service and I cannot continue. I can install with the EXE, but the service never appears to start and I am stuck at the original situation.
With 2.0.30 installed I get an error when running urbackup_srv.exe that states “The program can’t start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.”
I’ll be happy to help track down the issue further if needed.
api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
is shipped via Windows update, so this means you server is not up to date.
See here for details on this issue.
This is the update that is missing: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226
Thank you very much, that solved the issue. I am running this in a test environment right now and had not applied that update (2999226). Once I did so, the UrBackup service was able to be started. With the service started I can access the web interface with no issues.
Thanks again.
Have you tried 2.0.38?
It’s more up to date and still stable; just a suggestion in the case that 2.0.38 will install but 2.0.30 won’t.
