when backing up SQL server databases, i am getting an error backup is failing because there is no (960kb)1MB contiguous blocks. it appears as if the SQL Virtual memory is fragmneted, because of that i was not able to process a query till the server was rebooted. Any one knows what the issue is and what the cause/solution??

Thanks alot
Faris

i did not check and since the reboot fixed the problem i am thinking it has nothing to do with the HD rather it is memory issue.

thanks

Tell us about your server - how much RAM, SPs installed, database size etc.
