Possible causes:
1. Lack of disk space available for taking the snapshot. 10-15% free disk space is crucial for good VSS performance.
2. A disk with less than 10% free space left is likely to run 50% slower when data is added or updated frequently.
3. Apart from speed issues, VSS requires a lot of temporary space, too. When backups run for a long time, disk write accesses (changed disk blocks) need to be buffered in a dedicated area on disk. That area is known as “VSS Storage Area” and keeps growing until the backup finishes; hence, the longer the backup takes and the more data is being updated during backups, the more space is needed for VSS to work properly.
