We are desperate. Could anyone please point us in the right direction. I could not find anything searching for this error.
We tried backing up the entire farm (this is the goal) but kept getting errors. So we backed up each individual component which worked - except for the Search Service. That is what was causing the entire farm backup to fail.
We cannot do individual backups - we need to back up the entire server in one go. If you have any insight on how to resolve this error with backing up the Search Service. Or, do we need to remove the Search Service and provision it again and how would we do that.
Here the error taken from the backup log:
