VSS_E_NOT_SUPPORTED

VSS_E_NOT_SUPPORTED The requested VSS operation is not supported by the selected provider, operating system, storage topology, or snapshot type.

Identify the exact provider and operation from the requester log; the generic VSS code does not say which capability is missing.
List installed providers and compare their documented capabilities with the backup product workflow.
Use a supported provider or backup method rather than retrying an unsupported transport, revert, or remote operation.
