Thomas writes "Hi,

I'm having an intermittent failure on a database backup. Here is the error message:

BackupMedium::ReportIoError: write failure on backup device '\\dwp01\share\backups\enterprise\sqlbackups\weekly\ods1\ods120010427.bk1'. Operating system error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.).

My system is 4/550 cpu's, 2gb of RAM, 135gb od disk running Win2000 and SQL 7 SP2.

I'm trying to backup a 40gb database on primary. I tried to a local folder and then to a network server. Usually the job fails about 20-30 minutes into the process. The only success we have had is to breakup the output file into 3 parts and direct them to 3 separate logical drives. Thanks.

Tom"

Just got this problem myself. See technet:

FIX: Error 823 or 8966 Reported by SQL Server with Insufficient System Resources (Q274310)

This is apparently fixed in SP3 ( and thus also SP4).

hope that helps - I'm trying to arrange the implementation of this myself, now.
