Backup configuration is not saved after configuring backup job

Challenge

Cause

The Windows OS was installed with non-English region and culture settings. As a result, these settings were applied to the Windows system account.

Solution

You will need to set Format to English (US) for the system account.

Go to the Region settings (press Win + R > type intl.cpl > press Enter)

1. On the Formats tab set Format to English (US)
2. On the Administrative tab click Copy Settings and check that Format is set to English for Current user
3. Enable the Welcome screen and system accounts checkbox on the same tab
4. Press OK and restart your machine

Once the necessary changes are applied to the system account, a non-English Format can be set for the Current user account. Note, that the Format has to remain English (US) for the system account.
