ERROR_VOLSNAP_HIBERNATE_READY - 761 (0x2F9)
{Volume Shadow Copy Service} The system is now ready for hibernation.
Updated: Feb 21, 2026
Technical Meaning
The ERROR_VOLSNAP_HIBERNATE_READY error code indicates that the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) has completed its operations and the system is now prepared for hibernation. This status is typically used in scenarios where VSS is involved in a backup or recovery operation, and it signifies that all necessary processes have been executed successfully.
Error Details
The numeric error code 761 (0x2F9) is returned by the Windows API when the system transitions from a state managed by VSS to a state where hibernation can proceed. This transition ensures that all data and resources are in a consistent state, allowing for safe hibernation.
Usage Context
This error code is primarily used within the context of the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) and its interaction with system processes during backup or recovery operations. It is not typically encountered by end-users but may be relevant to developers working on applications that interact directly with VSS APIs.
Developer Interpretation
As a developer, you should interpret this error code as an indication that the VSS service has completed its tasks and the system is now ready for hibernation. This status can be used in conjunction with other API calls to ensure that all necessary operations have been performed before initiating the hibernation process.
Related Errors
ERROR_VSS无知觉(0x80244017): Indicates a failure during VSS operation, which could prevent the system from transitioning to a ready state for hibernation.ERROR_VSS_NOT_SUPPORTED(0x80244035): Indicates that the VSS service is not supported on the current system configuration, which might affect the readiness for hibernation.
FAQ
Q: What does the ERROR_VOLSNAP_HIBERNATE_READY error code signify?
A: It signifies that the Volume Shadow Copy Service has completed its operations and the system is now ready for hibernation.
Q: Is this error critical?
A: No, it is a status indication rather than an error. However, if subsequent hibernation fails, further investigation may be necessary.
Summary
The ERROR_VOLSNAP_HIBERNATE_READY error code is used to indicate that the system has transitioned from a VSS-managed state to one where hibernation can proceed safely. Developers should use this status as part of their application logic to ensure proper handling of hibernation operations.
