Exit Code 3 on every run of Vice Versa

[Windavis]

I am running ViceVersa 2.5 build 2504 and I am getting this same error every time it runs.
I have profile set up to back up my C: drive to an external hard drive.
I have method as Replicate (UPdate target)
I have enabled logging
no compression or encryption
Performance/bandwidth i left the default values
Under advanced: i checked copy files even if timestamp changes
checked: Try to copy files that are in use with other applications
checked: Use "volume shadow copy service" to copy open files
i left all other boxes unchecked. I did set up email notification and I have the backup set up to run on a daily schedule.
Every day it runs, I get the same message in my email:

Can you tell what I am doing wrong? Do you have any suggestions as to how to run this backup so that i get a complete copy of my disk on a daily basis. I haven't been able to figure out how to schedule it to backup daily so that i get a Monday backup, tuesday backup etc every day.

Thanks for any help / suggestions you might have

Hello,

are you creating the VSS shadow copy before or after source / target comparison ? The option is in profile settings -> advanced settings -> details (first button)

thanks
