VSS_E_AUTORECOVERY_FAILED

VSS_E_AUTORECOVERY_FAILED The automatic recovery phase of a shadow-copy operation did not complete. This affects the transition after the snapshot and can leave application data in an uncertain state.

What to check

Identify the affected writer and inspect its application logs for recovery failures following the snapshot.
Check whether storage, provider, or snapshot errors occurred before autorecovery was attempted.
Do not assume the resulting backup is application-consistent until the writer reports a stable result.
