    Can you share you setup (configuration) of the client (eg. save set, backup command), is this standalone or federated setup, etc...

    SaveFS has a inbuilt mechanism to check whether the interested saveset is configured with nested VHD's. 

    Refer below details to know what is nested VHD....

    For example, you have a fixed VHD on a computer at C:\vhd\ExampleFixed.vhd. Inside the ExampleFixed.vhd, you create a partition, initialize an NTFS file system volume, and assign the drive letter M to the volume. You then create another VHD at M:\vhd\NestedFixed.vhd. The NestedFixed.vhd file is called a nested VHD because it is created on the file system volume inside the first VHD. If you attach both VHDs (C:\vhd\ExampleFixed.vhd and M:\vhd\NestedFixed.vhd), then both N: and M: drives would be available on the computer for users to use.

    SaveFS will remove the saveset, if it finds nested VHD.  You need to check you configuration whether nested VHD is configured or not.

    Hope this helps!!

    Thanks,
