Cause

The error may be due to limited memory resources in DS-Client server during a backup task.

Workaround

1. Increasing the RAM may partially eliminate the issue. Please refer to 20.56 "Memory Requirements for DS-Client During Incremental Backup Using Delta Algorithm" section in DS-Client User Guide
2. Configure Windows DS-Client to use buffer for backup:
2.1. Configure DS-Client buffer outside of C:\Windows folder: "DS-User menu > Setup > Configuration > Parameters > DS-Client Buffer".
2.2. Configure "Use buffer" options in backup set "Properties > Options > backup Set options" section.
