AcronisAppliance Out of Memory

Thread needs solution

We use vmProtect to backup 15 VMs (Linux, different versions of windows). Backup of one Windows 2003 Server (500GB Data) fails after several incremental backups.

Symptoms:
- Backup Task fails
- Last message in log is about Changed Block Tracking
- Snapshot created but not removed
- In /var/log/messages "Out of memory: kill process ..." is logged

Possible Solution:
Increasing the memory of the virtual appliance from 512MB (after installation) to 1GB solved the problem for me.

Hello KurtA,

Thank you for sharing your solution with us.

This issue occurs because program logs are loaded into the memory. This has been fixed in vmProtect 7 and the default memory increased to 1GB.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.

We use VM Protect installed on a Phisycal (windows 2003) server with 1 GB RAM
"Not enough Memory" error occur occasionally during backup of large volumes (1 TB), reboot of the server solve the problem of the day but the problem comes out again after some time.
I hope that with mvProtect 7 I don't have to deal with that
