When you create a System Restore point, the error code 0x8004231F may occur.<\/p>\n

The restore point could not be created for the following reason:\n\nInsufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or other shadow copy data. (0x8004231F)\n\nPlease try again.<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
\"system<\/p>\n
The same error code occurs when you use a backup program based on Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).<\/p>\n
Cause<\/h2>\n
The error code 0x8004231F indicates “VSS_E_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE” (Insufficient storage space for the shadow copy) occurs if there is insufficient disk space in one of the hard disk partitions.<\/p>\n
Resolution<\/h2>\n
To resolve the error 0x8004231F, follow these steps:<\/p>\n
Open the System Restore properties by running systempropertiesprotection.exe<\/strong> via Win + R.<\/p>\n
Turn off protection for non-OS partitions. Ensure it’s turned on for the C drive.<\/p>\n
Select the C drive and click Configure.<\/p>\n
\"system<\/p>\n
Increase the “Max Usage” slider a little bit so that more space is allotted for System Restore. Alternatively, you can free up disk space by clicking “Delete”. It deletes existing Restore Points<\/a> and frees up disk space.<\/p>\n
\"system<\/p>\n
RELATED:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>How to Delete Individual System Restore Points<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
Additional Information<\/h3>\n
You can also use the Vssadmin<\/code> command-line to view and modify the shadow copy space allocation.<\/p>\n
To see the amount of storage space allocated and used for shadow copies, run the following command from admin command prompt<\/a>:<\/p>\n
vssadmin list shadowstorage<\/pre>\n
To allocate more storage (e.g., 20GB) for the OS partition, run the following command:<\/p>\n
vssadmin resize shadowstorage \/For=C: \/On=C: \/MaxSize=20GB<\/pre>\n
The changes will also be seen in the systempropertiesprotection.exe<\/strong> dialog.<\/p>\n
