Dell Server - Cannot perform a Machine level backup of local drives

Thread needs solution

We have Acronis Backup and Recovery 11 (build 11.0.17318) installed on a Dell PowerEgde R710 server running Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise.

We are having to do a file level backup of the local machine for the time being as we cannot backup the local machine at the machine level (see attached image). Obviously I am concerned that this may not give us a recoverable system state backup.

Our server has the Dell factory paritioning, with Disk 0 split into a 32MB OEM partition, a 3GB recovery partition and the rest allocated to the operating system, although there is 1MB of free space for some reason.

Any advice welcome.

For anyone who has this problem, reinstalling the core and windows agents on the host machine fixed the problem.
