I create a System Image (backup) weekly and save it to an external drive with 1.12 TB free space. The backup consists of System Reserved (System) - 37.20 MB and (C) (System) - 111.36 GB.

I am getting a message that the backup failed. It says "There is not enough disc space to create the volume shadow copy on the storage location. Make sure that, for all volumes to be backed up, the minimum required disk space for shadow creation is available. This applies to both the backup storage destination and volumes included in the backup. Minimum requirement: For volumes less than 500 MB, the minimum is 50 MB of free space. For volumes more than 500 MB, the minimum is 320 MB of free space. Recommended: At least 1 GB of free disk space on each volume if volume size is more than 1 GB."

This has never happened before. I don't know if it is coincidence, but yesterday I had a 250 GB SSD installed which is now my C-Drive and which has a free space of 121 GB. The former C-Drive which was cloned to the SSD now has a different Drive letter and is empty with free space of 931 GB.

Is it possible that the system wants to put the shadow volume in my SSD and the size of the backup (148.56 GB) is greater than the free space (121 GB) on the SSD? If that is the case, is there a solution?

Thank you. (Sorry for the length of the problem description.)
