Check your servers "free" memory, all the available memory may be tied up in cache due to copying files to/from your server
Create a file the size of your available memory or larger.
fsutil file createnew r:\backup\2gb.txt 2147483648
Then copy the file and then permanently delete both the original and the copy. (Delete from command line, use shift + delete, and/or empty the trash bin)
Now all available memory should be free :)
