By default only the Windows Server Backup GUI is installed on Windows 2008 member servers. If you try to use wbadmin at the command line the GUI version will start.

To install the command line tools
On the server
  1. Start button open Server Manager
  2. Right click on Server Manager(server name)
  3. Select Add features
  4. Expand Windows Server Backup features
  5. The GUI should already be selected, Select Command line tools.
  6. Once the installation has completed you should now be able to use wbadmin from the command line.
    No need to restart the server.
