VSS Common Error Codes

Common VSS Error

VSS_E_BAD_STATE 0x80042301 A function call was made when the object was in an incorrect state. This indicates that Microsoft’s VSS framework and/or perhaps some of the VSS writers are in a bad state.
VSS_E_UNEXPECTED 0x80042302 A volume shadow copy service (VSS) component encountered an unexpected error.
VSS_E_PROVIDER_NOT_REGISTERED 0x80042304 The volume shadow copy provider is not registered in the system.
VSS_E_PROVIDER_VETO 0x80042306 The shadow copy provider had an error. The provider was unable to perform the request at this time. This can be a transient problem. It is recommended to wait ten minutes and try again, up to three times.
VSS_E_PROVIDER_IN_USE 0x80042307 The shadow copy provider is currently in use and cannot be unregistered.
VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND 0x80042308 The specified object was not found. This error means that Microsoft VSS failed to take a snapshot of your file systems and that the backup job will be unable to backup any files that are opened exclusively by other applications. The most common cause of this error is that VSS has been disabled on one or more of the volumes that are part of the backup.
VSS_S_ASYNC_PENDING 0x00042309 The asynchronous operation is pending.
VSS_S_ASYNC_FINISHED 0x0004230A The asynchronous operation has completed.
VSS_S_ASYNC_CANCELLED 0x0004230B The asynchronous operation has been cancelled.
VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED 0x8004230C Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported.
VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_PROVIDER 0x8004230E The given shadow copy provider does not support shadow copying the specified volume.
VSS_E_OBJECT_ALREADY_EXISTS 0x8004230D The object already exists.
VSS_E_UNEXPECTED_PROVIDER_ERROR 0x8004230F The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process the specified operation.
VSS_E_CORRUPT_XML_DOCUMENT 0x80042310 The given XML document is invalid. It is either incorrectly-formed XML or it does not match the schema.
VSS_E_INVALID_XML_DOCUMENT 0x80042311 The given XML document is invalid. It is either incorrectly-formed XML or it does not match the schema.
VSS_E_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_VOLUMES_REACHED 0x80042312 The maximum number of volumes for this operation has been reached.
VSS_E_FLUSH_WRITES_TIMEOUT 0x80042313 The shadow copy provider timed out while flushing data to the volume being shadow copied. This is probably due to excessive activity on the volume. Try again later when the volume is not being used so heavily.
VSS_E_HOLD_WRITES_TIMEOUT 0x80042314 The shadow copy provider timed out while holding writes to the volume being shadow copied. This is probably due to excessive activity on the volume by an application or a system service. Try again later when activity on the volume is reduced.
VSS_E_UNEXPECTED_WRITER_ERROR 0x80042315 VSS encountered problems while sending events to writers.
VSS_E_SNAPSHOT_SET_IN_PROGRESS 0x80042316 Another shadow copy creation is already in progress. Wait a few moments and try again.
VSS_E_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_SNAPSHOTS_REACHED 0x80042317 The specified volume has already reached its maximum number of shadow copies. The volume has been added to the maximum number of shadow copy sets. The specified volume was not added to the shadow copy set. Other possible reasons
VSS_E_WRITER_INFRASTRUCTURE 0x80042318 An error was detected in the VSS. The problem occurred while trying to contact VSS writers.
VSS_E_WRITER_NOT_RESPONDING 0x80042319 A writer did not respond to a GatherWriterStatus call. The writer might have terminated, or it might be stuck.
VSS_E_WRITER_ALREADY_SUBSCRIBED 0x8004231A The writer has already successfully called the Subscribe function. It cannot call Subscribe multiple times.
VSS_E_UNSUPPORTED_CONTEXT 0x8004231B The shadow copy provider does not support the specified shadow copy type.
VSS_E_VOLUME_IN_USE 0x8004231D The specified shadow copy storage association is in use and so can’t be deleted.
VSS_E_MAXIMUM_DIFFAREA_ASSOCIATIONS_REACHED 0x8004231E Maximum number of shadow copy storage associations already reached.
VSS_E_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE 0x8004231F Insufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or other shadow copy data.
VSS_E_REBOOT_REQUIRED 0x80042327 A reboot is required after completing this operation.
VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_LOCAL 0x8004232D The volume being backed up is not mounted on the local host.
VSS_E_CLUSTER_TIMEOUT 0x8004232E A timeout occurred while preparing a cluster shared volume for backup.
VSS_E_WRITERERROR_INCONSISTENTSNAPSHOT 0x800423F0 The shadow copy set only contains only a subset of the volumes needed to correctly backup the selected components of the writer.
VSS_E_WRITERERROR_OUTOFRESOURCES 0x800423F1 A resource allocation failed while processing this operation.
VSS_E_WRITERERROR_TIMEOUT 0x800423F2 The writer’s timeout expired between the Freeze and Thaw events.
VSS_E_WRITERERROR_RETRYABLE 0x800423F3 The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error might not reoccur.
VSS_E_WRITERERROR_NONRETRYABLE 0x800423F4 The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error is likely to reoccur.
VSS_E_WRITERERROR_RECOVERY_FAILED 0x800423F5 The writer experienced an error while trying to recover the shadow copy volume.
VSS_E_LEGACY_PROVIDER 0x800423F7 This version of the hardware provider does not support this operation.
VSS_E_MISSING_DISK 0x800423F8 An expected disk did not arrive in the system.
VSS_E_MISSING_HIDDEN_VOLUME 0x800423F9 An expected hidden volume did not arrive in the system. Check the Application event log for more information.
VSS_E_MISSING_VOLUME 0x800423FA An expected volume did not arrive in the system. Check the Application event log for more information.
VSS_E_DYNAMIC_DISK_ERROR 0x800423FC An error occurred in processing the dynamic disks involved in the operation.
VSS_E_CLUSTER_ERROR 0x80042400 The clustered disks could not be enumerated or could not be put into cluster maintenance mode. Check the System event log for cluster related events and the Application event log for VSS related events.
VSS_E_UNSELECTED_VOLUME 0x8004232A The requested operation would overwrite a volume that is not explicitly selected. For more information, check the Application event log.
VSS_E_SNAPSHOT_NOT_IN_SET 0x8004232B The shadow copy ID was not found in the backup components document for the shadow copy set.
VSS_E_NESTED_VOLUME_LIMIT 0x8004232C The specified volume is nested too deeply to participate in the VSS operation.
VSS_E_NOT_SUPPORTED 0x8004232F The requested operation is not supported.
VSS_E_WRITERERROR_PARTIAL_FAILURE 0x80042336 The writer experienced a partial failure. Check the component level error state for more information.
VSS_E_WRITER_STATUS_NOT_AVAILABLE 0x80042409 Writer status is not available for one or more writers. A writer might have reached the limit to the number of available backup-restore session states.
