VolSnap.sys can be found in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers. It belongs to the Microsoft Windows OS. VolSnap.sys is also known as Volume Shadow Copy Driver.
VolSnap.sys can be controlled from the control panel. It is a compressed file and does not have a visible window. It is a volume copy which is used for a Windows NT based backup system (NT, 2000, XP, Server 2000, Server 2003).

If the VolSnap.sys file gets corrupted, Windows might not boot.

To fix this error, just replace the file with a new one. You can do this by getting into the Windows recovery console and then get on a DOS prompt. Replace the "Volsnap.sys" file with the back up which is present in the I386 directory. You can erase the one in the drivers directory and replace it with the one present in the I386 directory.
