BESR 2010 stops working the 1st of every month
We get the following error on two BESR 2010 installations on the first of every month. The job starts at 2:00 am and about 22 minutes later, this is logged:
Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job: Drive Backup of Sys (C:\), Data (E:\).
Error E7D1001F: Unable to write to file.
Error EBAB03F1: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service. (UMI:V-281-3215-6071)
Details:
Source: Backup Exec System Recovery
Both machines are Windows 2003 Server and are pushing backups to a Windows 2003 shared folder on another machine.
The job will fail daily until we reboot the machines, then BESR works fine until the 1st of the next month.
Yes, it is resolved, but I am not sure it was because of adjustments to the PoolUsageMaximum registry key.
Concidentally, large file copies (copying a 196 GB V2I file for instance) were failing over the direct gigabit LAN connection between the machines, and in researching this, I found a blog post suggesting to check the server's Performance settings. Sure enough, whoever originally configured the server set the Processor Scheduling for "Programs" instead of "Background Services" and Memory Usage to "Programs" instead of "System Cache". I had never thought to check those on a machine in a server role, because they always default to Background Services/System Cache. Once I changed the settings on both machines and rebooted them, the large file copies began working without fail, and also BESR seems to be happy now.
