Cause
Root causes may vary. In most cases such errors are caused by the memory shortage. There are multiple things that affect memory usage during snapshot initialization, most prominently:
- Insufficient hardware resources to process the multi-volume snapshot. Taking snapshots of multiple volumes at the same time rather than one by one requires more resources.
- File system errors that trigger sector-by-sector backup also have some effect, the impact may be quite big depending on the system I/O load.
Troubleshooting
1) Disable Multi-volume snapshot in backup plan settings
2) Run fsck on all file systems to check the disk integrity. Use the badblocks Linux utility.
