Event ID: 32572

Hyper-V failed to resynchronize changes for virtual machine '<VMName>': The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003). (Virtual Machine ID <VMId>)

Possible Causes:

Destination server connected, resync is in progress and primary storage is inaccessible (either permissions issue or drive not mounted). Thus reads are failing.

Resolution:

Address the storage issue (permission, lack of space etc).  After the corrective action,  resume the replication.
