Hi,

I have had an error yesterday evening, and the same again today.
Copy from the backup log :
2011-09-01 13:09:16 : Creating Volume Shadow Copy for C: ... [Volume Shadow Copy creation failed for C:. VSS_E_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS_REACHED]

The disk has 19.2 Gb free.
Windows XP, w/automatic updates.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks,

Etienne

Hi,

Windows XP only supports 1 Volume Shadow Copy (Snapshot) at a time (2003, Vista, 2008, 7 do support unlimited snapshots).

If there is another application or another ViceVersa process running that is using or created a snapshot already the error below can happen,

thanks

Thank you for this quick reply.

Yes, I have 2 backups running, the 2nd starting 15 minutes after the 1st. The 2nd had the error.

I have just lanched the 2nd by itself and no problem.

I have added the /wait option in VVscheduler (I don't remember now why I removed it, a while ago, but removing it had solved other problems?!?).

Will check tomorrow morning (next autorun) if all is well.

Thanks for your help,

Etienne

OK so far, this morning's backup had no problem.

Thank you Laughing
