Snapshot failed, insufficient space VSS Error

Hello, 

I was trying to protect a machine that was previously protected by another core a few months back that was shut down, now trying to protect with a new core. but it is failing with a VSS error that there is insufficient space. The C drive has plenty of space it is only Windows Server. Not sure if it is regarding the system reserve partition. It is on agent 6.1. I was thinking a reboot may help, or I can update the agent to 6.4 to try and protect the machine again.

    Upgrading to the 6.4 agent should resolve the issue. In 6.2.0 and newer we changed from using a change log that logs a new line per change on the volume (so the file grows slowly over time without backups) to a bitmap which has a fixed size so it won't ever fill the disk. The upgrade will convert the change log to bitmap and should remove the old logs freeing up space.
