    Are you sure this update is required ?

    Will this require server restart ?

    Hello WiktorKostrzewski,

    In this case it would be recommended to run the next command as Administrator in the virtual machine's host

    vssadmin list providers
    vssadmin list shadow

    Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc734302(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#make-sure-that-vss-hardware-providers-are-operating-properly

    Additionally, you can try to install the next update specifically for Windows Server 2012R2:
    "Hyper-V integration components update for Windows virtual machines"
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/hyper-v-integration-components-update-for-windows-virtual-machines-8a74ffad-576e-d5a0-5a2f-d6fb2594f990

    And last but not least, please check if the Virtual Machine has enabled the "Backup (volume checkpoint)" integration service, with the next steps:

    1. in Hyper-V right click the virtual machine, and select Settings
    2. Go to the Integration Services option from the left menu
    3. Ensure that the Backup option is marked
