Today I started having the exact same problem, running Vista Home Premium.
Until today, have been using Backup & Restore successfully for almost a year.
I'm running a Lenovo laptop. Can someone help? i've done a virus scan and
found no problems.

Thanks.

Hello Christin.
Sorry for my language, i am french.
I have also a problem with my backup.
Exactly, my error message is, sorry in french : Le volume spécifié n'accepte pas les clichés instantanés. (0x8004230c).

I have try to put, with the "services.msc" the "fournisseur de cliché instantané de logiciel Microsoft" on disable, restart my computer and then put again on automatic.
The method is not good. The same message occurs.
If you can help me, it should be mervellous.

Thanks you,
JM
