Guest Kenact Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I've got a Windows Server 2003 sp2 DC, patched completely up to date. Over the past few months I've been having an intermittant problem with it failing with the message "Insufficient memory available". It writes an 8017 message into the Event Log. The server only has 512mb, but the only function it servers is backup, and typically the is over 150mb available. I've checked out kb828402. I have a later version of NTBackup, so the hotfix won't install. NTBackup version 5.2.3790.3959, which includes the hooks for backing up Exchange. I've also tried the jsiinc.com tip to deallocate the tape. The job still fails every three or four days. Any ideas?
Guest LeonidasKlein Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 RE: NTBackup fails, Insufficient memory available Have you tried KB940349? I was holding a similar problem, an out of memory on shadow copy. Please let us know the results "Kenact" wrote: > I've got a Windows Server 2003 sp2 DC, patched completely up to date.

Guest Kenact Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 RE: NTBackup fails, Insufficient memory available Thanks for your reply but my problem seems to be related to the tape deallocate not the VSS. I have set up a scheduled job that deallocates the tape 6 times before I attempt my backup. Since doing that I haven't had any failures from my backup. I wish someone at Microsoft would look into this. There are several things wrong here. First the Out Of Memory error is erroneous. Second there shouldn't be a need to deallocate the tape. Third I shouldn't have to run a tape deallocate multiple times to deallocate the tape. Ken "LeonidasKlein" wrote: > Have you tried KB940349?
