wbadmin crashes via command line

0

I'm trying to take system backup on Windows 8.1 Pro (EFI system partition + C:\ drive). It works perfectly well via Control panel however such command in command prompt fails:

wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:F: -allCritical -vssFull -quiet
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool

Retrieving volume information...
This will back up (EFI System Partition),BOOTCAMP(C:) to F:.
The Windows Backup engine could not be contacted. Retry the operation.
The remote procedure call failed.

Some errors in error log (sorry it's in Polish):
