comment Getting timeouts and backup errors after mirroring and log shipping is setup
What's the deal with not being able to edit my own comments? The above should say "...from every 5 minutes for all 3 databases to every 20 minutes for 2 databases and every 5 minutes for 1 database. ..."

comment Getting timeouts and backup errors after mirroring and log shipping is setup
A bit of an update: 1) I changed log backup frequency from every 5 minutes for all 3 databases to every 2 minutes for 2 databases and every 5 minutes for 1 database. I also staggered them in time. This seems to take care of log backup failures and "insufficient memory" messages. 2) I also removed mirroring from 2 databases completely (every mirrored database accounts for 2 connections) and left it active for 1. Timeouts are still occurring.

Highest wait by pct_wait_time is DBMIRROR_SEND (82.7%, 5022 ms) but could it be skewed because I kept mirroring suspended for the last several hours for one of the databases? Second highest is PAGEIOLATCH_SH (11.0%, avg 94.2 ms)

Mirroring is set to "High Safety without automatic failover". There is no witness. Insert/update activity on the primary is really low, so I don't think mirror not being able to keep up is an issue.

4) 99% log backups take 0 sec to complete, the rest are 1-3 sec. 5) Staggering log backups, making them less frequent and upgrading hardware is being considered (yes, that server is probably 6-8 years old)

Mike, Your reply us appreciated. Here are answers and more questions: 1) Will enabling AWE at least help some with 4 GB of RAM? I can give SQL 2.5 GB max memory for instance. 2) I ran query for wait stats you linked to. In the first set of results (since server was started) this is what it looks like for BACKUPTHREAD : sum_wait_time_ms=5796846 pct_wait_time=0.1 sum_waiting_tasks=236073 avg_wait_time_ms=24.6 3) SQL Server: Buffer Manager -> Page Life Expectancy is about 54,000 (avg) - is that considered low?

Databases are not that large - one is 300 MB, another is 500 MB and another is 1.2 GB. Memory/Available MB counter i 1048 Min, 1081 Max
