SQL Server 2008 backups fail with SQLVDI error
Hi there
Last week our backup of our Development server failed with a message I interpreted as "not enough room on disk to perform backup operation" I then freed up from 5GB available to 14GB available.
Backups ran for a week and then failed with same message.
I increased the drive to have 100+GB available - just to be done with it - making entire disk a 200GB drive.
Last night the backup failed again.
Digging further into the error messages I see the following to begin with:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: SQLVDI
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1
Date: 2/11/2014
Time: 1:26:11 AM
User: N/A
Computer: CPHEBTDV01
Description:
SQLVDI: Loc=BufferAreaManager::Map
. Process=2200. Thread=7836. Server. Instance=MSSQLSERVER. VD=Global\11437_eu_3litraa
Followed by this error message - note - this error appears twice in a row!
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSSQLSERVER
Event Category: Server
Event ID: 18210
Date: 2/11/2014
Time: 1:26:11 AM
User: EMEA\wuncph_backup
Computer: CPHEBTDV01
Description:
BackupVirtualDeviceSet::Se
Next Event is this:
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE 11437_eu_3litraapuhdastave
If I go to the Backup server I see this Event after the backup finished:
Backup Exec Alert: Job Failed
(Server: "CPHEBTUT04") (Job: "WunCPH - Non FS-WunCPH Non-Fileservers-Daily Backup -Non FS") WunCPH - Non FS-WunCPH Non-Fileservers-Daily Backup -Non FS -- The job failed with the following error: Database Query Failure. See the job log for details.
Th Job log leads to this page:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH128837&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1392114943784
Which says to apply Hotfix to the server - But our SQL server is 2008 - not 2005 - so the Hotfix would not work on our SQL-server ( I did try just in case - and it reported "no valid SQL server installations found"
I can't see any other articles on Google that realte to this problem - that doesn't point to the hotfix above...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I upgraded the VM to have more memory - and the OS recognized it directly - so no need to tweak anymore than that.
Apologies for the late reply :/

Would a limit on the SQL server to 4GB of memory and then an increase from 4 to 5GB of RAM on the Server (VMware virtualized 2003 Server) do the trick then do you think?
