    Failed to lock snapshot

  • Cause

    The Snapshot copy is either in use or has been deleted.

  • Corrective action

    If the Snapshot copy is in use by another operation, wait for that operation to finish and then retry the backup. If the Snapshot copy has been deleted, you cannot perform the backup.
