  1. Click Start, and then click Server Manager. In the left pane, click Features, and then in the right pane click Add Features. The Add Features Wizard appears.

  2. In the Add Features Wizard, on the Select Features page, expand Windows Server Backup Features, and then select the check boxes for Windows Server Backup and Command-line Tools. If you are prompted to do so, select the Windows PowerShell check box also.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On the Confirm Installation Selections page, verify your selection, and then click Install.
