Hi

We started experiencing an issue with the tape backup software (net backup) after we added 5 new databases to a server. There are 34 users’ databases all together on that server. Some of the databases are not being backed up; here is the error message from the SQL Server 2005 logs:

BackupVirtualDeviceSet::Initialize: Request large buffers failure on backup device 'VNBU0-4316-6812-1251421305'. Operating system error 0x8007000e(Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.).

It seems to be related to the number of the databases on the server. Net backup launches all backups at the same time. What it the maximum number of backups that can be executing at the same time on a server?

Anybody experienced a similar situation? Any ideas?

Thank you

AK
