Srini,
She does use a total server backup. This is just referring to the modular backup by Amazing Charts.
You must be doing something wrong or you are confusing storage space with memory. (sorry, I know that is doubtful).
But, even if you are backing up 10GBs of data, and you do it overnight, it will require memory, but once done, the backup shuts off and the memory is back. It is just like opening five websites, three Word Documents and 10 Excels. You will use a lot of memory as they will be running in RAM, but when you close them; you get that memory back.
I understand what you mean. I mean that AC backup program must be having some kind of a memory leak. In software industry, when a program runs and uses 100MB of RAM and when done does not release that 100MB of RAM it is called "memory leak"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leakIt is very much possible that she is running too many stuff at the same time and trying to copy too much stuff.
Bottomline is that memory cannot be eaten away by a program aftre it is done execution. Or her disks are slow and she is seeing the symptoms of too much disk activity. Even that can lead to slow performance on sql server.
