    Error 0x8007007A,, "the data area passed to a system call is too small"


    I am running Windows 11 on an HP desktop PC, all current updates installed. I am trying to copy files to an SSD external storage, My Passport, but I keep getting error 0x8007007A, "the data area passed to a system call is too small". The file names and paths are not long. The computer has recently been restarted several times for updates. I have been using this SSD for some time. This is a new problem. Any solution ideas?

    :)

    Win 10 Pro backup to SSD generates Error Code 0x8007007A - "The data area passed to a system call is too small.

    Exploring a secondary backup solution for my Windows 10 install. Acronis ATI 2017 works fine, less than 7 minutes to image a 60GB partition to a SSD backup (Intel 510 120GB) but Backup and Restore (Windows 7) fails after a long while, having written over
    100GB to the backup and terminating with" Error Code 0x8007007A - "The data area passed to a system call is too small".

    (SSD freshly formatted - no errors)

    Note: Backing up with either app to a magnetic disk with the same scenario works fine!

    Any Ideas??

    The data area passed to a system call is too small

    Hi Steve,

    "The data area passed to a system call is too small" error message can be caused by certain system configuration parameters. To give you a heads up, problems involving SQL servers has it's own dedicated forum. However, you may try to follow the instructions
    provided on the support article below on how to resolve this problem:

    FIX: "The data area passed to a system call is too small" error
    when you start a Desktop Bridge application on a SQL Server 2014, 2016, and 2017

    If the issue persist after performing the steps on the above link, it'll be best if you redirect this query to the
    Windows Technet forums - IT Pro for Windows 10, as the audience in that forum is
    more geared towards the ins and outs of SQL servers related problems. Hence, they will be better to provide more answers to your query.

    Best regards.
