diogocnunes95 0 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hello, With the latest versions of ESET File Security, Windows Server Backup never succeeds. If I stop the antivirus, the backup is successful. Error message: Windows Backup failed to get an exclusive lock on the EFI system partition (ESP). This may happen if another application is using files on the ESP. Please retry the operation. How to solve? Windows Server Standard 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
