"Failed to create storage area association" when trying to create a shadowcopy on a different disk than the dedicated disk

It works when trying to create a copy on the local disk ( from D:\ to D:\ lets say) but not when I try to set it to another disk (from D:\ to S:\ for example)

I was expecting to create a shadowcopy on a different disk but was getting the error you see in the screenshot.

Error: Failed to create storage area association. (Error 0x8004231d: 0x8004231d)

>Solution :

I’ve had similar issue and didn’t find to much info online about this.
My solution was simple.
Make sure that the size you put in the "limit to" is at least 15% of the source disk. So for example set the limit to at least 150GB on a source disk of 1TB.
Normally this should be between 15% and 20%.
Hope this helps you.
