Windows Application Log
PM MSSQLSERVER Error Server  18210 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM XXXXXXX BackupVirtualDeviceSet::SetBufferParms: Request large buffers failure on backup device '(local)_XXXX-SQL'. Operating system error 0x8007000e(Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.).

 
 

Cause

SQL server performance is impacted as backup can demand on high memory and CPU  resources.

Sometime this high demand resources caused Avsql process timed out while executing a transaction-sql statement or batch.

Resolution

Increase avsql time out values.
Use one of the following methods to add flags in the MCGUI Dataset or in avsql.cmd file:

Method #1 - Adding to Dataset
Add the following flags in a Dataset for SQL Plug-in.
Note: Both flags must have leading "[avsql]"
 
[avsql]max-transfer-size   =   65536
[avsql]vditransfertimeoutsecs  =  900
 
Method #2 - Added to the avsql.cmd file
Add the following flags to the C:\Program Files\avs\var\avsql.cmd file
 
--max-transfer-size=65536
--vditransfertimeoutsecs=900

Additional Information

In some circumstances very large Virtual Machines may require a larger value for timeout flag:
[avsql]vditransfertimeoutsecs = 3000
or 
--vditransfertimeoutsecs=3000
