I have some KiXtart (Windows scripting) scripts that have been working great for almost a year.
Today, 7-zip is producing this error:
ERROR: Can't allocate required memory!
I am exec-ing 7z.exe with:
C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe a -bd -mx=9 -mmt=4 <7ZFILE> <SQLBACKUPFILE> <SQLBACKUPHASHFILE>
This is on Windows 2008 R2 64-Bit Standard with 32GB of RAM. It also has SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on it, which means that SQL Server is taking most (sometimes all) of the available 32GB.
But I don't think that's the issue necessarily, because these scripts haven't changed in well over six months.
Here is the output I capture:

Any ideas of what to look for?
