SnapAPI logs are required for troubleshooting snapshot issues. The common error messages that the SnapAPI log will help troubleshoot are:
unable to create volume snapshot
source is not selected (Hyper-V error message)

This article describes what this temporary file is and how to modify its size. For detailed description of the snapshot process, see SnapAPI.
This article explains to install Acronis software on Linux systems without installing packages required for compiling SnapAPI module on every machine. Instead, it's possible to install Acronis agent on a test machine and distribute precompiled module over your systems.
Solution
On the source machine:
1. Build SnapAPI modules:
Change the databases to Simple Recovery Mode
Symptoms
Backups fail with error messages stating that the SnapAPI module is not loaded for the running kernel.
In dmesg/messages, you can find these errors from SnapAPI: "make_request_fn is NULL."
Cause
Backup agents BEFORE C21.09 release had a version of the SnapAPI kernel module (versions up to 0.7.140) that could not compile successfully on kernels 4.18.0-315 or higher (in the 4.18. series).
