VSS_E_WRITERERROR_OUTOFRESOURCES
VSS_E_WRITERERROR_OUTOFRESOURCES The VSS writer could not allocate the resources it needed during the operation. Resource pressure can include memory, handles, database resources, disk capacity, or application-specific limits.
What to check
- Identify the writer and monitor system pressure at the backup time instead of assuming the VSS service itself is out of memory.
- Reduce parallel backup load and check the application hosting the writer for its own resource warnings.
- Retry after pressure is relieved; if it recurs, collect writer-specific diagnostics and capacity data.
