This error indicates that the CommServe is running low on memory and is unable to backup the SQL database. This can occur if the computer has been up for an extended period of time or under heavy load. If the computer is under heavy load, it is due to SQL temp files which can grow large if it is not set back to the default size regularly. One of these temp files is theTemplog.ldf log file, which can continue to grow each time SQL is used.
To resolve this issue, stop the Commvault services, cycle the SQL services, and then restart the services. For step-by-step instructions on controlling services, see Controlling Services on Windows.
If this workaround fails to resolve the issue, then reboot the CommServe computer. This returns the temp file to the default size and allow the disaster recovery backup to run.
We recommend to use the DBMaintenance utility to maintain the CommServe database and prevent the issues explained above from happening. For more information on this tool, see DBMaintenance Utility.
