VSS_S_SOME_SNAPSHOTS_NOT_IMPORTED

VSS_S_SOME_SNAPSHOTS_NOT_IMPORTED is a partial-success status from importing a transportable shadow copy set. At least one shadow copy was imported, but one or more snapshots in the set were not.

How to investigate

  • Enumerate the imported snapshots and inspect their properties instead of assuming that the whole set is available.
  • Compare the source and destination storage configuration, provider availability, and transportable-snapshot requirements.
  • Check VSS and provider event logs for the snapshot IDs that failed to import.
