Hi,
i just bought the software Acronis True image 2016 and I have the same kind of problem. When I launch the backup, it saved 330 Mo and stop it. After a few minutes, I have the message : the last backup failed. Impossible to create the snapshot volume.
Can you help me please ?
Thanks

Stephane, you should create your own post for your problem rather than adding to the end of another users, as it is not certain that the two problems are the same. The answer I gave to the original poster remains the same. We will need more information, in particular, to see the service_ log file for the failed backup task, so that we can try to understand what the problem is.

Paul Wood, Stephane BUREAU,
Can either one of you tell me if in addition to the "Unable to create volume snapshot" were any error codes displayed?
If yes were those codes:
Event Codes:
0x00DA0002+0x000101F6+0x00070021+0x0010C442+0x0000FFF0
0x000101F6+0x00070021+0x0010C442+0x0000FFF0
If not what codes did you see if any?

I finally find the solution :
Disable Volume Shadow Copy, if other programs do not require running VSS:
- Start -> Run -> services.msc
- Locate Volume Shadow Copy service, right-click and select Properties.
- Set the startup type to Disabled.
- Stop the service.
- Restart the backup.
