Windows 10: Windows 10 Lenovo laptop VSS backup issue

Using 3rd party backup solution to perform Volume Shadow Copy service ("VSS") failed.

Just happen of the Lenovo laptop contains OEM partitions. Is VSS support OEM partitions? Any official documentation mention?


Thanks.

no, you can't go back..
I suggest creating a backup image of your os drive

 

VSS errors during upgrade to Windows 10, should I care?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

For better assistance, please share the information:

• Are you using the installation media in USB or a DVD/CD?
• Do you have any backup for Windows 10?

The issue might have been occurred while installing/upgrading to Windows 10. The services may have not been loaded at the time of installation. So, I suggest you to check if the VSS service is running in Services by following the steps provided below:

• Press Windows key + R key, type services.msc
  and press Enter.
• From the list of services, locate and right click on Volume Shadow Copy
  and select Properties.
• Check if the service is running. If not, set the startup type
  as Automatic, click on Apply and OK.
• Restart the system and check for status.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
