A Hyper-V backup plan fails with the following error: VSS error 0x800423f4: The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error is likely to reoccur.

2. Open the Hyper-V host, then select the virtual machine that produced the error.
3. Right-click the VM, select Settings, then switch to Management.

Once these steps are done, the virtual machine will be in the saved state for a short period of time, and the uptime counter can be reset.
