"Insufficient system resources" error when restoring backup from network share

  • I'm getting this error when restoring a 19-GB backup from a network share:

    Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

    I'm getting the same error when attempting to copy the backup file to a local drive.

    I have more than enough disk space and memory on that server.

    What could be causing this?

  • This message is related to the network.

    Check the NIC setting on both servers and insure that "link speed & autodetect" is NOT "auto-detect" and that the other parameters are set appropriately.

    A network administrator should know the correct values based on the network hardware, especially the router configuration.

    Thank you, I'll ask our network people to take a look.

  • There is also the possibility that article Q304101 is coming into play...

    Basically what the Q article references is running the source machine out of kernel-pageable memory space. You may need to add a registry key to tell the o/s to page out kernel-pageable memory earlier (using a lower percentile).

    I've had to do this on a couple of my dbservers that backup/restore over the network and use files that are > 150GB...
