    Unlike previous Windows versions, UAC in Windows Server 2012 cannot be truely disabled using the GUI, hence why the alert.

    Some registry editing and a reboot is needed:

    It should be fine without the registry edit if you run the installer as an administrator.
    Backups are running fine over here. If you did not run install as admin, try doing it to see if it completes in less time. It takes around 10 minutes on some of our 2012 hosts.

Hi Sazz,

the UAC was already disabled; I've tryed to reboot the server and run the setup as administrator, but the warning still appears.

I'm using the NB_7.5.0.6.winnt.x64.Client.Win2012.

Thanks in advance.
