ERROR_VHD_INVALID_FILE_SIZE

ERROR_VHD_INVALID_FILE_SIZE means the physical file length is inconsistent with the metadata and layout expected for the virtual disk. A partial copy or truncation is a common cause.

What to verify

Compare the file length and hash with the source or backup catalog.
Check transfer logs, storage quotas, and free space on the destination volume.
Do not attempt normal resize or optimize operations until the file has been validated or restored.
