VDI Error 100. MAXTRANSFERSIZE is set but not used?

We are getting this error sometimes during the day, but mainly during the duration when a full database back-up is in progress.
The script that we use for the log back-up already has the MAXTRANSFERSIZE = 524288 option in it.
During the duration of the full back-up, we continue to get the VDI Error 1010. The thing is that, when we get the error, the email has the result of that sqbmemory and it shows that the maximum free memory is bigger than that MAXTRANSFERSIZE, so it seems that that setting is not being used?

Here is the error as received from the email (after 1 or 2 attempts, the lgo back-up succeeds) :

5/17/2010 9:04:38 PM: VDI error 1010: Failed to get configuration from server. Check that the SQL Server instance is running, and that you have the SQL Server Systems Administrator server role.

Maximum Free memory is 1835008 which is larger than the MAXTRANSFERSIZE setting. What prevents the job from using that setting?

Thanks!

  • This issue is now resolved.

    I have updated the version of my Backup to the current version 6.4 and I can see that the MAXTRANSFERSIZE setting is now being used. The messages are clearer on what size does the SQL Backup requires based on this and the BUFFERCOUNT.

    Thanks a lot!
