Ok Guys
I have no doubt screwed up through my lack of knowledge.
I have been running WHS 2011 for years no issues backups etc etc working fine.
The past 2 weeks my main Desktop has stopped backing up Critical failure at about 2% it stops.
First error i thought that having tried it about 10 times i would remove it from the server backup and add it back.
When i went to add it back and reconnect with a new dashboard. I then hit my next error common fault ' Unable to Establish a Trust Relationship' So after a few days i found this article below whichh i thought worked it connected me and everything looked correct.
But when i went to reconfig backup it sees my new PC but the options to backup are missing and it does not recognise what O/S my desktop is.
See screen shots here:
Anybody please help me why am i not able to backup?

I tried this article i found it sorted the 'Unable to Establish a Trust Relationship' issue but i still have the other problems as shown in the images below.
- On the WHS, launch Certification Authority from the Administrative Tools menu
- Right-click on the <Server>-CA node and select Properties.
- In the Certificates tab of the Properties window, you should see at least two certificates, numbered sequentially. Double-click the newest certificate.
- In the Certificate window, select the Details tab, and click the Copy to File button
- Step through the certificate export wizard, choosing any of the first three formats (I used the PKCS #7 format, and selected to include all certificates in the certification path).
- Save the file to a location that is accessible to the client you're trying to connect (or a USB drive).
- On the client machine giving trust issues, open the certificate management console for the local computer by performing the following:
- From a Run line, enter mmc.exe
- In the empty console, go to File -> Add/Remove Snap-in
- Double-click Certificates
- Select Computer Account and click Next
- Choose Local Computer, and click Finish
- Find the Trust Root Certificates node, and expand Certificates
- From the Action menu, Choose All Tasks -> Import
- Ensure that the Store Location is Local Machine, and click Next
- Browse to the file you exported earlier, click Next
- Finish the wizard, and ensure that the new certificate appears in the certificate store
- Re-run the Connector software. It should now run successfully.
