For the last few days I have been trying to get Macrium Reflect working to create a backup of the drive C: Windows. So far it's not successful and I have looked up on Google to see if I can get this work again and I have followed instructions but still the same error with error code 0x8004230f. Anyway here is the message below that I have copy/pasted for anyone who know more than me how to get this running again and be able to make a backup on weekly from my desktop.

Let me know what can be done to correct and run again to create a backup from my desktop.

Location: The state of confusion; I just use Wyoming for mail.
I would suggest that you do the same as I do with Acronis.
Have Macrium cr4eate a recovery disk and boot to the recovery disk. When you make the recovery disk chose to make it PE if offered.
If Macrium recovery is like Acronis it will offer full backup options. Look at Disk Management first to get the actual drive numbers for your source and destination drives.

Oh, also make sure that your destination drive has enough free space for the backup...
