Attempting to Backup Disk - "Unable to create volume snapshot"

Thread needs solution

I'm receiving this error when I attempt to perform a backup using the standard options, backing up my D: drive to an external drive (F:).

Any thoughts on why this may be happening?

Thank you

I'm having the same issue. I just got a new SSD and preformed drive copy using the Samsung Data Migration software, booted up and my backup was scheduled later that night. Backup tried to run and came up with the "Unable to create Volume Snapshot". I removed the job, recreated a new one... Same Error. Uninstalled, and reinstalled and created a new job....Same Error. I'm kinda stumped on this one.
