The following error is displayed when opening eazyBackup:
"Lost connection to local service.
Post /auth: open \.\pipe{backup.delegate Background Service}: The system cannot find the file specified."
This error indicates that the background service (eazyBackup delegate service) is either not running in the background or not present.
From the Windows search box type services.msc
and open the Services App.
Locate the eazyBackup Delegate and Elevator services.
Select each of the services and click the Restart button in the left side menu.
Verify that the service status shows Running after restarting both the delegate and elevator services.
At this point you should be able to open eazyBackup normally from the start menu shortcut.
