When I am exporting a SharePoint 2007 site using 

stsadm -o export -filename c:\sp2007importedbackups\testbackup.cab  -url http://um-pc:6115 -includeusersecurity

I am getting the following error:

Export ran out of memory while compressing a very large file. To successfully export, turn compression off by specifying the -nofilecompression parameter.

Please guide accordingly.

  • Your command says import was that a typo?

The really big .cmp/.cab files export is creating can't be compressed. One way to workaround this is by specifying the -cabsize parameter on the stsadm -o export command to "60". 

stsadm -o export -filename c:\sp2007importedbackups\testbackup.cab -url http://site -cabsize 60 -includeusersecurity
