This article applies to:

• Acronis True Image Echo Family
• Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Family
• Acronis True Image 11 Home
• Acronis True Image Home 2009

Symptoms

1. You run a validation task on an Acronis backup archive;

2. The validation task fails with an error message similar to one of the following:

   ERROR 1450: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service

   ERROR 1450: / hex 0x5aa ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES

   ERROR 1130: Not enough server storage is available to process this command.

   ERROR 1130/ h ex 0x46a ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_SERVER_MEMORY

Cause

Backup of large system volume (e.g., more than 700 GB) may consume more memory than the system can provide.

Solution

Do one or several of the following: 

• If backing up to a Network Share and the error occurs, then attempt to increase the IRP Stacksize as described in Shared Folders Cannot be Accessed after Installation of an Acronis Product
• Increase memory pool size as described in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 304101;
• Do not run or schedule for the same date and time both backup and validation tasks for large volumes;
• Stop memory demanding services during the course of the backup, please see: Using Batch Files in Acronis True Image
