Somewhere in the Macrium forums are some ways of dealing with VSS problems,
including a registry entry left over by ShadowProtect (I had run the trial
version), which messes with VSS. They may apply or be useful for you as
well. I'll look for links. Be right back.
No real luck. Got to Macrium & find their forums, and search for this:
Backup aborted! - Failed To Create Volume Snapshot. Result Code: 0x8004230f
Probably the hex error code will be enough.
Also see this, about the ShadowProtect problem:

I'm just guessing (hoping) that the info might help you.
