Symptoms

When you try to back up the system state on a computer that’s running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012, and that has Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 installed, the backup operation fails.

↑ Back to the top

Cause

This issue occurs because Windows Server limits any directory from containing more than 1,000 subdirectories. Visual Studio 2012 installs more than 1,000 subdirectories in the following location:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net
Therefore, when the system state writer tries to back up the folder, the issue that is described in "Symptoms" section occurs.
