    VSS EventID 20


    We have recently started getting the following on a Win Server 2022 :The shadow copies of volume E: were aborted because of a failed free space computation. There is currently 5TB Free space on the drive and trying to manually create shadow copies also returns and error: 0x080042306 I have been pointed to this article, 0x80042306 error occurs when configuring shadow copies for clustered mount points on another drive in Windows Server - Windows Server Microsoft Learn but it does not relate to our situation.I have also tried the following: vssadmin resize shadowstorage /For=E: /On=E: /MaxSize=

    :)

    Failed to Create Volume Snapshot Macrium Error 0x8004230f VSS Error

    Hi, you might try this:
    Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) Troubleshooting - Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) Troubleshooting

    or the free cautious repair tool
    Tweaking.com - Windows Repair Free/Pro
    - observing the steps and using only the relevant repairs

    More:
    How to Fix VSS Errors Step-by-Step

    Otherwise I suggest- assuming your disk and file system are sound-
    an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all progs, data and most settings

    You need an iso of the same base language and build- freely downloadable.

    What will happen on Jan 20, 2016?


    Strollin: I understand your suggestion, but that means I'll have to re-install all my sofftware etc. again. This is not an enticing thought at all.

    LCDR: I tried the old activation code I used before - it is the same on you posted.

    I tried the steps listed at the WinAero site. Last one failed because it said the server could not be located. But I did get the Jan 20, 2016 date back. So that's something.

    VSS is corrupt and need to enable to create backup

    Hi, two repair utilities come to mind:

    a. Tweaking.com's free cautious repair tool offers a number of repairs. One of them is VSS.
    Just search for it: select only the repair you need, and follow the preparatory steps.

    b. Macrium Reflect offers a feature to fix VSS issues:

    VSS EventID 20 279969d1590267183t-vss-corrupt-need-enable-create-backup-untitled.png


    Troubleshooting Microsoft VSS errors - KnowledgeBase v7.2 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase - KnowledgeBase v7.2 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase

    Finally I just came across this, by Acronis... did they not suggest it?
