Backup problems with Casper & Macrium...
I have recently added a second SSD to my Dell Optiplex 5050 which I want to use to backup my C drive.
Previously I’ve used Casper on my old XP machine to clone the C drive and it has worked well but I have never run it on this Windows 10 machine until I installed the second SSD. Casper initially appears to run but fails within seconds with the error:-
“The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process the specified operation. (0x8004230F)”
As Macrium appears to be well thought of on this Forum I downloaded Macrium Free but on running it I get the same error message… As I get the same error with both Casper and Macrium I presume the error is Windows 10 related…
Having done a bit of Googling I have checked that Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider and Volume Shadow Copy are both running. They were set to Manual, I did change them both to Automatic but that made no difference. I have checked for viruses/malware (Defender,MalwareBytes,ESET and ADW) and all is clear although I did have a couple of PUP’s but they have been removed… I have also run SFC and DISM and all appears quite normal. I’ve also found that System Restore is not working, returning an 0x81000203 error.
Any help would be appreciated.
