Virtual disks to be used as source virtual disks for VSS snapshots must not have names longer than 16
characters. The VSS hardware provider uses the base virtual disk name as a prefix for the snapshot and
repository virtual disk names. The resulting snapshot and repository names are too long if the source virtual disk
name exceeds 16 characters.
NOTE: A volume is another term for virtual disk.
