i will need some diagnostic information to get the root cause. i will ask
support person to get in touch with you.

in the meanwhile - can you pl send
1. the total/free size of the volume you are tyring to backup and of the
backup target by seeing them in explore - detailed view?
2. vssadmin list shadowstorage -- command output
3. ...

The "vssadmin list shadowstorage" works for me - there was indeed not enough space.. because the "shadow storage" tooks about 30GB on my external backup device (i just wonder why??). After setting maximum storage to the minimum (300MB) on the external HDD the backup wen on as usual.

How to resize shadowstorage:

Code:

vssadmin resize shadowstorage /for=X: /on=X:  /MaxSize=300MB

where X is the letter of your external HDD storage.
