Windows SharePoint Services Timer Status is Stopping

Hello Readers,

I have started to take the backup of SharePoint Farm on one SharePoint server through SharePoint Central Administration.

But it was not giving me any status for starting, Central Admin has given one tips that if it does not automatically start, check Timer Job Definitions or Timer Job Status.

I went to Timer Job Status from SharePoint Central Administration -> Operations->Timer Job Status (Timer Job Status, you will find under “Global Configuration” Sections of “Operations”.

I checked “Application Server Administration Service Timer Job” was initialized but did not success .Then I went to Start->Administrative Tools->Services and I have restarted and it gives me this error .
