Unable to create volume snapshot (0x70021) - Volume is already locked
I've been running True Image Home 11 for well over a year, with not a single hiccup. I've even used it twice to restore with no problems. Suddenly, 2-3 weeks ago, when I tried to make an image, including C, D, E + F drives, it failed after imaging C, with the above error message. As an experiment, I tried making an image just of C and it worked fine. Then I tried to make just an image of D, but it immediately failed, with the same error message.
Reading the forums, I ran CHKDSK on all drives. No problems found. I removed TI Home and reinstalled it. Didn't make a difference. I down loaded and installed snapAPI (whatever that is). In frustration, I even ran sfc /scannow thinking it might be an operating system file error. Again, nothing wrong found.
Finally, I booted from the Acronis emergency disk and was able to successfully make an image of all 4 drives, although it took twice as long as normal.
I'm a real estate agent, not a Techie. I just need to make this work properly so I can back up once a week. Has anyone found a solution to this? Thank you for any suggestions or help you can offer. - Gerard
