The Prevent backing up to local disks machine setting should be configured correctly.
This setting lets you prevent users from selecting a local disk (internal or external) for storing backups. If this setting is enabled, the user will be blocked from selecting a local disk as a backup location. If this setting is disabled or not configured, users can select a local disk as a backup location.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Backup\Client\Prevent backing up to local disks
(2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Client\DisableBackupToDisk
