Error 0x8004231F
There was a error saying that i could not make a restore point because I had insufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or other shadow copy data. The error cocde is 0x8004231F. Please Help. I have a Seagate external harddrive that is 869 GB free out of 1.36 TB.

Your link didn't help at all. I tried resizing the sorage space for shadow copies. That didn't help my problem.

I think the shadow copies must be on the internal drive.
How much room do you have on your internal hard drive?

The thing with the link is that I don't have Shadow Copies tab on my external hardddrive or any volume at all. I'm running Windows Vista. I don't think they have that tab on Windows Vista.

I have a lot of space on my internal harddrive. I have about 289 GB free of space out of 320 GB. I think. About.

Hi the vss should be on the internal as this is where your os would be why would you be running a restore on your external as that appears to be what your saying

What I'm try to say is that when I try to backup on my external harddrive the error message appears. I learned that this error occurs only if I do not have sufficient storage to store my shadow copies but I do. My external harddrive has 868 GB free out of 1.3TB. Clearly I have enough space but somehow this error 0x800423F keeps popping up.

You may have enough disk space, but how much space has been Reserved to save this files?

I don't know how do you check. I think that I reserved 4GB of space for shadow copies. I inputed vssadmin and resized the storage for shadow copies.

Since the above links about resizing did NOT work for you.
Here is another question, is your drive FAT32 or NTFS?
If FAT32 the shadow (System Restore) is NOT supported.
