Hi,
Appreciated anyone who can help us with our problem. Our backup job
for ROUTT database has been failing for the last 4 days. It was
working fine for almost a year now. The only thing happened few days
before the problem started is the addition of more memory to the
server because we've been getting the low virtual memory error. There
are two databases in this server so we have two backup jobs everyday.
The other backup job runs with no problem. Can someone give us any
suggestion please. Listed below is the sql log.

Thanks,
Teresa

Maybe a BIG transaction log and an increase in the DB size? How much
disk space do you have free on the drive you are doing the backups to?

I would test that you do a manual backup. This will remove any
problems that you may have regards to scheduling the job. Assuming
that you have enough disk space I'd set up a performance monitor trace
to check the SQL memory and other parameters to check what is going
on.

Hi,
Thank you very much for helping us out. It turned out that the
application is still link to the database when the backup ran.

Thanks,
