Hi, In our server farm we are trying to backup a 90 GB site collection using stsadm -o backup into a UNC location. When it reached 46 GB, the server where the UNC located was terminated the connection with eventid 2027, I have checked the eventId in technet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734334(WS.10).aspx, which basically saying the destination server cannot keep up with request, and the only suggested solution is changing the registry setting of the destination box. Is there any other solution without changing the registry as the server is under managed services agreement which we don't have access to the registry? Regards, Daniel

Stsadm is not recommended for databases above 15GB, use SQL Server backups instead. Refer to this article for some further reading on this topic: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263427(office.12).as
