Removable Backup-to-Disk Restore failling due to running low on virtual memory

fosiul
Level 3

HI

I took bakcup from Server A by using Removable Backup-to-Disk ( to a usb hardrive) . Backup was Onle one mailbox ,size 6mb

then i connect the usb hardrive to Servere B ( where i want to restore)
i inventory the drive, then catalog the drive.

now when i am restoring... its failling with this error :
"Final error: 0xe0008442 - A memory allocation request failed.The computer may be running low on vir...

I checked the following solution already:
according to this site
(a)http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/305502.htm
the logon account is select as System Account
(b) http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/305237.htm : i can catalog , only restore failed, so i does not belived this apply.
(c)http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/273562.htm : i have check with all these hotfixed, all are installed, ( though i dont think that was the issue)
     still no luck

(d) installed servivce pack2 for backupexed
(e) i have increased virtual memory to 10GB!! , and my system ram is 2 gb


Extra Add : if i change the Credetential to Domain/Administrator then its shows different error which is :
it will eat all the memory and server will be hanged for couple of minutes .then server will be normal  but backup will fail saying : Communication Error has occured!!
Every time, its completing to 80% then rapidly Physical memory droped from 1Gb free to 1684 or less!!!
please see the picturebackupExe.GIF


now i dont know what to do

please some one give me some idea
thanks

Hi there,

Do both servers have the same patch levels?
What happens if you duplicate that original backup to disk on that second server, and then try restore from a local disk?

Laters!
