VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_PROVIDER

VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_PROVIDER means that a provider was selected explicitly, but that provider cannot create a shadow copy for the requested volume or remote file share. This is more specific than VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED.

How to investigate

Verify the provider GUID chosen by the requester and the storage it is designed to handle.
Check whether the volume layout, LUN, file system, or remote-share scenario is supported by that provider.
Use another suitable provider only if the backup design permits a different snapshot implementation.
