Welcome to the community forums. 

Have you had a look at your Backup Proxy? It is online?

Object reference not set to an instance of an object is a generic programming error. It means that one of the variables is NULL unexpectedly. If you could provide some logs from the backup job this could potentially shine some light on WHAT is unexpectedly returning NULL. I’d expect this to be a database record not quite being correct for a component such as a proxy or repository.

Yes but you don't need to open multiple topics with the same question keep it in the one thread for consistency.
