VSS_E_LEGACY_PROVIDER

VSS_E_LEGACY_PROVIDER The selected hardware VSS provider is too old to support the requested operation. The provider can create some snapshots but lacks the operation-specific capability needed here.

What to check

List installed VSS providers and identify the hardware provider selected by the backup software.
Check the storage-vendor documentation and provider version for support of the requested transport, revert, import, or resync feature.
Upgrade or switch to a supported provider rather than trying to use an unsupported operation through a legacy provider.
