See if this helps, from the Arcserve support site

NW-AS6: E0007 Server is low on memory. Cannot start jobs until memory is restored.

http://support.ca.com/techbases/as61/NAS61146.html

otherwise, the following is copied from the Novell Documentation:

Resolving Server Memory Problems

To free up server memory temporarily (until you can add more memory to the server), do one or more of the following:

tUse the FILER or NetWare Administrator utility to purge deleted files on the specified directory that cannot be purged automatically. (Deleted files are using up directory table space.)

tUnload NLM programs, such as INSTALL or MONITOR, that are not currently needed.

tDismount volumes that are not being used.

tReduce the size or number of volumes that the server supports.

t Delete unused files and directories on the specified volume.

t Change the Minimum File Delete Wait Time SET parameter in the AUTOEXEC.NCF file so that files can be purged immediately rather than being retained in a salvageable state on the volume.

t As a last resort, back up all files in your volume, bring down your server, and use INSTALL to reinitialize the volume. Specify block size of 64 KB and turn the "Block Suballocation" option to "Off."

(This setting uses a lot of disk space but increases the amount of memory available.)
