Hello everybody,
I am running Hyper-V 2016 on Windows Server 2016 with the latest updates and I get this error when trying to make a checkpoint.
- I tried to move the data to another ClusterShared Volumen, but this wasn´t the solution.
- I also tried to check and renew all permissions for the files but also without any success.
- Restart the VM
- Disabled Checkpoints / Enable Checkpoints
- Remove from Failovercluster / add to Failovercluster
-Check the Status for the VSS --> all ok.
Does anybody have another idea? I tried so many things and I used Google :-) now for the last 4 Hours, but this is a really special problem I guess.
