Backupjob failes with "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service"
Hello Support Team,
we have the following on a client's server problem:
The backupjob breaks mostly from the change from C to D partition with the following error:
Snapshot of the volume can not be created (0x70021)
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service (0xFFF0)
Backup Log (sorry for the german language, but the error codes are helpful):

The first backup run after a reboot of the server usually succeeds.
System enviroment:
Hardware: Fujitsu Siemens Server TX150S6
RaidCtrl: LSI 1078 SAS Ctrl 512 MB with BatteryBackupUnit
Raid-Array: 3x 750GB as Raid 5
Partitions: Drive C: 100GB (allocated: 18 GB); Drive D: 1,3 TB (allocated: 210 GB);
RAM: 4GB
Pagefile.sys: 4096MB - 8192MB on Drive C:
OS: Windows 2003 SBS Standard SP2
Installed Acronis Products:
ATI Echo for SBS with Acronis Universal Restore Build 8.319
Acronis Recovery for Microsoft Exchange Server Version 1.0 Build 220
Already changes:
1. (recommended by the server manufacturer) upgrade the firmware of iRMC, BIOS, RaidCtrl, onboard NIC to the latest versions, update the driver for RaidCtrl, onboard NIC and chipset in Windows
2. Information from Acronis-KB:
2.1 CHKDSK on Drive completed without error
2.2 Reg-Key IRPStackSize added to MS KB285089 and tested values of (decimal) 32 - 50 without success. Instantaneous value of 50
3. (recommended by the server manufacturer) replacement of the hardware: RaidCtrl, reinitialization of the raid array completed without error
In the Annex, are also still:
- ATIreport.txt with Acronis Report.exe created
- Screenshot of DeviceTree \ Drivers \ PartMgr; the branch \ Drivers \ volmgr could not be found
- Screenshot ATIEventLog
I hope you can help me. Thank you for your efforts.

Hallo Stefan,
Du hast Post...
Vielen Dank für Deine Hilfe

Interesting that the same failure is on the German version on both occasions.
Has there been a Microsoft update that might have been applied recently?
I would expect that error message to appear for either a problem with RAM or possibly if the IRP_STACK_SIZE isn't sufficient.
Has a new program been installed recently?
How feasible would it be to run memtest86 on the Server? Probably not feasible at all as this would mean shutting it down and taking it offline for a number of hours.

I do not think that it is a MS Update problem or a memory issue and IRP_Stack_Size is already 50. Also, I already changed the HD. The server is running fine except Acronis...

Hello all,
Stefan and Marco, let me help you to fix the issue.
First of all I may suggest you to install the latest SnapAPI drivers, since there are "Einstellen der Snapshot Bitmap fehlgeschlagen" error in the log file from Stefan's first post.
Please download the update using this link, install it and reboot the machine. After that please try to back up again and check if the issue persists. Please be aware that you should install the update for Acronis True Image software only, Acronis Backup&Recovery uses different SnapAPI version, please let me know if you're using it.
If the problem still persist, please try to increase memory pool as described at this Microsoft KB article.
If the above workarounds don't help you, please collect AcronisInfo tool output and submit a support request.
Please let me know if you need any additional assistance.
bodgy, thank you very much for your help.

....many many thanx to Stefan. His approach worked for me and I will post the necessary steps.
1. Boot.ini:
- delete the Switch "/3GB /userva=3030" and ignore the Exchange "wrong memory message" in the eventlog
2. Registry: expand Kernel Memory
- Change Key „PagedPoolSize“ to Hex-Value "ffffffff" (max. Kernelmemory)
- Change Key „PoolUsageMaximum“ Dez-Value "40"
3. Registry: expand Desktopheap from 3072KB to 4096KB - see MS KB 126962: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/126962
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems -> Windows
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,4096,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16
4. Registry: expand Kernel Memory
Change Acronis Tasks and compression to priority „Normal“
5. Windows Server Systemperformance (not on Terminalservers)
Switch to:
optimal performance for "Backgoundservices" and "Systemcache"
6. Restart the server
