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.
