Backup app isn't working

[Guest]

I've been using the Windows app Backup for the last year. Worked great up
until last week. Now I can't get it to complete a job. Here's the only error
message I get. My question(s) is this: Does the number 80042301 mean
something? How do I find out what it means? In the event I can't get this
fixed in the next few days, is there a way to manually backup a system state?

Oh DannyBoy:

A web search for that error message:

Another way to backup your system state is to create a restore point.
