Have you installed the Windows Server Backup feature on the newly RTM’d Windows Server 2012 and been left wondering why you can’t find the Windows Server Backup Management Console Snap-In (wbadmin.msc)?
Although seemingly the backup services are correctly installed and the wbadmin console tool works fine, the convenient and user friendly (although not as functional) MMC snap-in doesn’t get installed.
The Solution
It looks like the file was accidentally omitted from the Windows Server Backup feature and added elsewhere. If you install the Feature Administration Tools > Network Load Balancing Tools then voilà the Windows Server Backup tool gets installed at the same time.
Hope that saves someone a little bit of frustration.
