try this command or disable your firewall for testing.
New-NetFirewallRule -Name 'Remote-VSS-In-TCP' -DisplayName 'Remote VSS Remote Management (RPC)' -Description 'Inbound rule for Shadow Copies and other VSS writers to be managed remotely' -Profile Any -Direction Inbound -Action Allow -EdgeTraversalPolicy Block -Program '%SystemRoot%\System32\vssvc.exe' -Service 'VSS' -Protocol 'TCP' -LocalPort 'RPC'

Because shadow copy management does not appear in Windows Client.
so, you enable shadow copy on the windows 10/11.
I create two virtual machines with windows server 2022,
The vm01 use windows server 2022 with GUI, and vm02 use windows server core,
I execute those commands in the vm02 and do the Remote management shadow copy in the vm01.
