Hi ppl
I am getitng the following error message in my NT event logs.

Unable to open shared memory with backup/recover program.

The server is an Exchange box, and when I attempt to run the backup I get a permission denied error..


anyone else had similar problems?
 
Hi,

I've seen errors in the NT event logs stating "unable to create shared memory segment", but that's a bug. It didn't have any impact on the backups. I would say, if that's your error, something else is wrong. Check things out from the Exchange side, and make sure you have privs.

Good Luck!
