Hello,
We are running a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard server.
All is working fine. However, I wanted to check what could cause these VolSnap errors, and what is the appropriate action to be taken. CPU and memory usage when I checked at a later time have been normal.
Event ID 6
The shadow copy of volume C: could not create a new paged heap. The system may be low on virtual memory.
Event ID 15
The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because of insufficient paged heap.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rudy

Hi Patrick. I did come across your links while I was googling the errors. That in itself did not really address my issues. Seems like it was a brief spike.
I'll review further if the issue manifests again.
Thanks for the suggestion, however. I'll mark as an accepted answer.
Good news, glad to hear it was only temporary.
