It could be that the volume is out of space where the shadow storage is located. If you look in the filescan.log file, you should see the snapshot attempt there for system state and be able to get more details.

 

Also application and system log on windows would have more info

Hello @Manjunatha Reddy 

You can attempt to run a system state backup from the OS itself with the help of your Windows team and check if that's successful. This will also help in narrowing down the issue you are facing. 

Best,
