VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_LOCAL

VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_LOCAL The volume requested for VSS backup is not mounted on the local host. VSS shadow copies are tied to the local system and its providers.

What to check

Confirm whether the backup target is a local volume, a network path, a redirected mount, or storage owned by another host.
Use a supported remote backup agent or create the snapshot on the host that owns the volume.
If the path is a cluster resource, check which node currently owns it before launching the backup.
