Macrium Restore clone problem

I'm tryingto clone an internal HDD to an external USB HDD and I keep getting this error message. Can anyone help resolve the problem please?



Win 10 Pro. Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363

Here's what it says at Macrium Knowledge Base, but there are a number of other Google hits:

VSS Error: 0x8004230F - KnowledgeBase v7.2 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase - KnowledgeBase v7.2 - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase

With most cloning software you cant clone while your booting from the drive your trying to clone you need to boot from dvd or usb if you want to clone c drive

Thank's for that info, unfortunatly it did not resolve the issue. Tried to disk copy and got this.

If there is a vss problem, you could try doing it from outside of windows ( using boot media).
Or you can use an imaging program that has an alternative snapshot driver in case of such problems.

Thank's for all the suggestions guys. I've tried all these options and the problem still persists.

I tried uninstall and reinstall but still have the same problem so now I'm out of ideas. Nothing I've found in the Macrium Knowledge Base seems to have any effect.

Create a Macrium Boot Entry, boot into Macrium WinPE environment, clone.

Have you tried what I suggested a couple of days ago?

I'm sorry, I'm not knowledgeable to understand what you mean by "outside windows".
