In SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4), the following warning message is logged in the SQL Server error log:
Downgrading backup buffers from 960K to 64K
This error message indicates that the contiguous virtual memory is either insufficient or is too fragmented for the computer to successfully perform a backup. Contiguous virtual memory that is insufficient or that is fragmented could lead to performance problems when you try to back up the database.
