VSS Number of Maximum Snapshots Reached

I get this error when I try to sync in ViceVersa...

Creating Volume Shadow Copy for C: ... [Volume Shadow Copy creation failed for C:. VSS_E_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS_REACHED]
[Volume Shadow Copy creation failed for C:. VSS_E_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS_REACHED] Error.

Any thoughts on how to deal with this?

Thanks.

There could be several reasons:

1) Not enough disk space.

2) On Windows XP, multiple ViceVersa PRO profiles running together, and all using VSS (Windows XP only supports 1 shadow copy at a time).

3) On Windows XP, other software using the shadow volume for that drive, e.g. disk defragmenters, virus scanners, backup, etc. (Windows XP only supports 1 shadow copy at a time).

thanks
