Hi Dave,
Thanks for updating.
This is Robert Li, Inn Jin is temporarily out of the Newsgroups and I am
his backup.
I am glad to know that the problem is resolved. Please let me make a short
summary of the post.
Problem:
You couldn't complete backup and received "0x8004231f" error
Solution:
Add enough space in your backup media.
For future postings, I would like to list the following information as a
guideline when submitting new posts in the future. This information will
help us to understand the issue and situation more quickly. Thank you!
1. Has the server/client/product ever worked?
2. If so, what changed?
3. What service packs and updates were applied?
4. What are the steps to reproduce the problem?
5. Does it happen the same way on any other systems?
6. Please provide the exact error message with any screenshots, if possible.
If you need any assistance in the future, please feel free to post in the
partner managed newsgroup.
Best regards,
Robert Li(MSFT)
