Not enough space to create the volume shadow copy

Original Title: Hi

when i start backup it fails and says there is not enough space to create the volume shadow copy. How can i fix this?

Thank you all.

 

Windows 10 Backup fails, error 0x81000019, shadow copy could not be created

I had set the Volume Shadow Copy service to Automatic and explicitly started it before my last backup attempt before I posted my problem. I tried your suggestion of running the backup from a clean boot but it failed again, with the same error code.

 

Backups fail: Volume Shadow Copy errors 22 & 12292

Since updating one PC to Windows 10 Creators Edition, I've been unable to backup to Server 2012 Essentials R2.

Event Viewer has multiple pairs of VSS errors 22 and 12292:

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: A critical component required by the Volume Shadow Copy service is not registered. This might happened if an error occurred during Windows setup or during installation of a Shadow Copy provider. The error returned from CoCreateInstance
on class with CLSID {3e02620c-e180-44f3-b154-2473646e4cb8} and Name SW_PROV is [0x80040154, Class not registered

].

After searching for possible answers to the problem I tried running the following from an elevated command prompt:

CD \Windows\System32

net stop vss

net stop swprv

regsvr32 ole32.dll

regsvr32 vss_ps.dll

vssvc /register

regsvr32 /i swprv.dll

regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll

regsvr32 es.dll

regsvr32 vssui.dll

regsvr32 msxml.dll

regsvr32 msxml3.dll

regsvr32 msxml4.dll

But this returns an error as follows:

"The module "swprv.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070715."

Searching for this produced only the following advice:

1. Run following command to get the software provider service back. “sc create swprv binpath= “%systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe –k swprv” “sc config swprv Displayname= “Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider”

2. Export the Swprv service related registry from a working machine (windows 2008 R2). Then Import the swprv registry to the problematic server. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\swprv



But this assumes knowledge I don't have (is the command in (1) supposed to be run from a command prompt? Powershell?. Also the version of Windows Server in (2) is wrong. How to Export and Import?)

This seems to be a fairly common problem coinciding with Windows updates, but with no solution that doesn't require postgraduate level Windows sorcery.

I'd be grateful for some step-by-step instructions on how to fix this.
