The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable ...
Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit
Acronis TI 2014 build 6673
Could a full partition recovery (or disk clone operation) be causing corruption of shadow copy snapshots? Is recovering the shadow copies a bad idea in the first place?
After replacing a failed system disk drive and using TI 2014 to restore my last backup, everything seemed fine externally, but I started seeing that scary message in the Windows System event log over and over.
Everything seemed to be working correctly. A boot-time CHKDSK /R found no problems.
Since I'd just replaced the drive, I still suspected hardware problems, but all hardware tests passed, and other than the messages in the log, there were no symptoms.
Scouring the application and system event logs, I discovered that each error was bracketed by a VSS start and stop, from either a virus scan or a backup operation.
I used VSSADMIN to delete the shadows on the drive
VSSADMIN DELETE SHADOWS /FOR=C: /ALL
after which I've seen no more errors and the shadow snapshots have been re-created.
I have an older machine which does nothing but run my ham radio equipment on which I'd cloned a 250GB drive onto a 500GB drive with TI 2014 a long time ago. Looking at the event log for it for the first time in a very long time, I found exactly the same pattern of errors. I applied the same fix with the same (apparently) positive result.

It was a "full restore" in the sense that I was moving to a new disk, fresh out of the anti-static bag. I booted from the Acronis recovery media and did everything from there.
I had done a "disk backup" of all 3 partitions of the disk, the OEM partition, the recovery partition and the OS.
