VC version 1.22 B3, W8.1 32bit. The volume is on an SD Card. Partition uses the whole card completely, format is NTFS. Before the creation of the encrypted volume the partition was unformatted. Mounting and dismounting works without any mistake and the filesystem is flawless as well.
For the creation of a header backup I dismounted the volume and started the process. Then I get an error message box with the following message: Wrong parameter Source: BackupVolumeHeader: 10206
Any ideas or is it a bug? Anything I can perform for testing?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I don't have an SD card to test but I can't reproduce using standard hard disk.
Does the error occur before or after you type the password?
Does the error happen if VeraCrypt is run as administrator (Administrator displayed in title bar)?
In the meantime I performed the same operations with a usb thumb drive and the error did not occur.
The header backup even worked after I switched it to external HDD with 2 partitions and hid the encrypted second partition. BTW I like this USB drive now as one (the standard user with Windows) can only see the first partition with the Portable/Traveler VC. Sadly not all thumb drives are able to be switched to HDD.
Thanks for all Your efforts

Hi Andreas,
I don't have an SD card to test but I can't reproduce using standard hard disk.
Does the error occur before or after you type the password?
Does the error happen if VeraCrypt is run as administrator (Administrator displayed in title bar)?
Also, can you please run the tool ListDrives that can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/veracrypt/files/Contributions/ and post the output related to the SD card?
These information will help in trying to find the code part that trigger the issue.
Thank you.
Hello Mounir,
the error occurs dirctly after PW entry and pressing OK.
