5388:Save: Failure status of writer System Writer - VSS_WS_FAILED_AT_PREPARE_SNAPSHOT VSS OTHER: ERROR: VSS failed to process snapshot: The shadow-copy set only contains only a subset of the volumes needed to correctly backup the selected components of the writer.

this is the error when we trigger the system sate backup. However i have followed some troubleshooting steps prescribed by Microsoft.
Please find the below steps:-
Scenario1: No output or writers are not stable.
RCA:This issue occurs because the registry path to Eventcls.dll is incorrect or because the registry data type for the TypeLib setting is incorrect.FIX:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2009533
Scenario2:
The system writer fails because permissions to files in the %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\ or %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames directories are incorrect.

Scenario3:
If some 3rd party storage Disk or Storage Management software is installed it may bring all the volume without drive letter offline
Generally 100 MB partition is system partition which contains Boot configuration Database and does not have a drive letter assigned.

From command prompt
C:\>Diskpart
C:\Diskpart> List volume
C:\Diskpart> Select volume 1 (Considering this is 100 MB system partition)
c:\Diskpart> Online volume
C:\Diskpart> exit
DISKPART> automount
Automatic mounting of new volumes is disabled.
To enable AUTOMOUNT run the following command
DISKPART> automount enable
Reboot the server and the volume will not go offline.
OR
From the Disk Management console assign the drive letter to the 100MB partition it should bring the disk online.
To access Disk Management, open command prompt
C:\>Diskmgmt.msc
Select the 100 MB volume; Right click on the volume Change drive letter & Path; Assign a drive letter.
Assigning the drive letter will ensure the volume is not offline again after a reboot
However above steps did not work, I have not get any solution over forum except these. Could you please help me??
