VSS_E_CORRUPT_XML_DOCUMENT

VSS_E_CORRUPT_XML_DOCUMENT indicates that a VSS XML document is malformed or does not satisfy the required schema. This status is deprecated; newer code should use VSS_E_INVALID_XML_DOCUMENT for the same class of failure.

How to investigate for VSS_E_CORRUPT_XML_DOCUMENT

Validate the XML syntax, namespaces, versioned schema, and required elements.
Identify whether the document is requester backup metadata, writer metadata, or provider data before changing it.
Regenerate metadata through the VSS API when possible instead of hand-editing persisted VSS documents.
