When trying to backup a Windows 2008 R2 DC, the RMAD console shows this error :
Error Text : "Unable to execute request (111). Unable to create snapshot using Volume Shadow Copy Service. VSS: 0x80042316."
Error code 0x8004231f indicates VSS_E_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE (Insufficient storage space for the shadow copy).
There's not enough space on the problem DC on the ShadowStorage
Instructions to fix it:
1. Launch CMD as administrator in the DC and perform the next commands (either one):
a. vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage (modification of size)
b. vssadmin Delete Shadows (remove all unnecessary)
If still fails, need to perform a shadowStorage deletion and resize for an specific volume ( To see which volumes are causing the error run the command "vssadmin list shadowstorage"), for example :
- vssadmin Delete ShadowStorage /For= \\?\Volume{4cd24f44-42fb-11df-b345-806e6f6e6963}\
