Bamboo has run out of heap memory space while importing your export.
Resolution
Shutdown Bamboo
Increase min and max heap allocation to the JVM on your Bamboo. It should be increased to 1024m at the least but you may need to go higher
See the following documentation on how to configure system properties of Bamboo on startup: Configuring bamboo on start-up
For example, add the following arguments to your JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS:
-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m(please customize to your requirements)
Start Bamboo
You should be able to verify that the memory limits were increased under Bamboo Administration >> Overview >> System Information.
