Answer 1

Hello there,

The system cannot create production checkpoints: When there isn't enough space. When the required Hyper-V Integration Services aren't running on the virtual machine.

The common cause for these error messages is that incorrect file and folder permissions were set. This issue may occur in the following situations:

Permissions for the snapshot folder are incorrect.

A VM was improperly moved from another Hyper-V host, and correct permissions were not set.

Hyper-V needs to be rebooted.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
