I am trying to backup my Win 10 machine after having it crash 3 days ago. I want a clean install image backup so in future I will not have to reinstall and everything all the time.
So I am using the Windows & Backup tool and I am getting the Volume Shadow Copy Error that has happened in the past based on my research.
In the Application Event log I get The backup operation that started at '2020-12-20T14:14:12.740545900Z' has failed with following error code '0x80780034' (Windows Backup failed to create the shadow copy on the storage location.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
I am using the latest Windows 10 install 20H2 build 10942
I have a 64 bit architecture and 16GB RAM system. A Samsung EVO 500GB SSD as my primary disk.
I am backing up to an external SSD drive connected via USB which is 1TB in size and has lots of space.
The backup image was estimated at about 58GB. It does crash near the end.
I have made sure that the 2 Volume copy services are running as per an article.
Microsoft Shadow Copy Provider and
Volume Shadow Copy services are started. However after the backup has failed I see they are both not running.
What can anyone suggest? I have tried 3 times without success.
