VSS_E_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_REMOTE_MACHINES_REACHED

VSS_E_MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_REMOTE_MACHINES_REACHED The remote VSS operation reached its limit for participating remote machines. This is a request-scope limit, not a generic network timeout.

What to check

  • Review the backup design to see which remote machines are included in the same operation.
  • Split an oversized workflow into supported units rather than retrying the same request without changing scope.
  • Check requester logs to confirm that stale or duplicate remote targets are not being added to the operation.
