Hello Chris Gour,

Thank you for posting this issue in our forum. I am happy to assist you.

This message occurs because of not enough free snapshot storage space on the system. Since Volume Shadow Copy Service is used for backing up databases, you can switch off this in Options. You will find additional information in this article from our knowledge base.

In the backup plan, navigate to the end and click on options -> Volume Shadow Copy Service -> Do not use VSS.

As a temporary workaround to avoid the issue with snapshot creation you can use Acronis bootable media to create a new backup.

If you need additional assistance, you can contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.

Before contacting support, please collect system information report.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.

This PC is empty, i just want to put the hard-drive in the same state as when it was bought (I had used Backup & Recovery just after purchase).

I do not run any SQL database.
I have used the Acronis bootable media to try to restore the backup, but here also I have an error.

Hello Chris Gour,

Thank you for the reply.

As the problem occurs during creating the backup, you should check if my suggestions from the first post can solve your backup creation issue. Only with a backup, created without errors, you will be able to use for recovery actions. 

If you need additional assistance, please create a system report of the affected machine and contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.
