Domain: BackupPriority: High

What does this error mean?

The storage available for VSS shadow copies is insufficient.

Likely causes

  • The volume has too little free space
  • Shadow storage is undersized
  • Existing shadow copies consume the configured quota

Checks and resolution

  1. Check free space on the protected and shadow-storage volumes.
  2. Run vssadmin list shadowstorage.
  3. Review existing shadow copies and configured limits.
  4. Increase capacity or shadow-storage limits when appropriate, then retest.
Precaution: Do not delete restore points or shadow copies without confirming the retention and recovery impact.
