VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND

VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND means that the object supplied to a VSS operation could not be located. With AddToSnapshotSet, for example, the volume or remote file share name does not identify an existing supported object.

How to investigate for VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND

Verify the volume, share, snapshot, or provider identifier passed to the API.
Use VSS administration tools to list available providers, writers, and shadow copies.
For remote shares, confirm the required UNC naming format and that the resource is still online.
