Hi,
I've been unable to backup my hardrive for about a week now, I'm running Windows Vista, and I've been trying trying recommendations off of Google for quite a while, to no avail.
When I try to backup files, I get the following error message: The backup did not complete successfully. A shadow copy could not be created for the following reason: The specified object was not found. (0x80042308)
Please don't re-direct me to other pages because I guarantee I have tried it....but you can prove me wrong if you're really sure about the problem. Thanks for the help,
Alex
