VSS_E_NESTED_VOLUME_LIMIT

VSS_E_NESTED_VOLUME_LIMIT The selected volume is nested too deeply to participate in the VSS operation. Layered mount points or volume relationships can exceed what the snapshot workflow supports.

What to check

Map the selected volume, mount points, and parent volumes to find the nesting relationship.
Simplify the backup scope or select a supported parent/child volume set instead of relying on deeply nested mount structures.
Verify application component requirements because a writer may require more than one volume even when only one path is visible to the user.
