Resolve

Ensure that VSS has access to the volume root directory

If the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) does not have access to the volume root directory, shadow copy creation on the volume will fail.

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To ensure that VSS has access to the volume root directory:

  1. Open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
  2. Type icacls <VolumeRootPath> /grant system:f at the command prompt, where <VolumeRootPath> is the path to the volume root directory, for example, D:\.

For more information about the **icacls **command, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=104873.

Verify

To verify that the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is operating correctly, retry the previous VSS operation.
