The backup failed.

Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes. (0x8078006B)

Additional Information:
The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process the specified operation. (0x8004230F)

I was trying to create a system image and it was successfully done twice the last day. After a day the system suddenly can't process my request to backup my system into an external drive.

Hi Sherwin Cruz,

Chose settings on the C: drive (even though shadow copies are disabled). Then set it to No Limit. Do the same thing for the System drive.

Please find the below thread for more info

Hi,

Thanks for posting in our forum!

1. The error 0x80042308 is related to Volume Shadow Copy. 

Check if the Volume Shadow Copy service is running on your computer or not. You can refer to the following steps:

(1). Click ‘Start’, type ‘services.msc’ and hit Enter.
(2). Locate “Volume Shadow Copy” and check if the service is started.
(3). If not ‘Start’ the service. If yes, you can try stop the service and restart the same.

(4). Repeat the above steps for ‘Windows Backup service”, too. 

2. You should check your disk, Shadow copy errors are often caused by disk problems which check disk will find and correct. You can run cmd command “chkdsk” to check.

3. Please run cmd command “vssadmin list writers” to check whether the writers has some errors.
