VSS_E_REMOTE_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE
VSS_E_REMOTE_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE The remote server required by the VSS operation was unavailable. The failure is at the remote-server reachability or service level, not necessarily at the local VSS service.
What to check
- Verify name resolution, routing, firewall rules, and remote host availability from the requester host.
- On the remote system, check VSS-related events and confirm that the required VSS components and provider are healthy.
- Compare the target server name recorded by the requester with the actual backup topology to rule out an obsolete alias or stale configuration.
