RE: win32: veritas embedded ms sql server huge memory hog

Paul,  

Just an idea - why not keep all Veritas services in stopped state all the time *except* for a period shortly before scheduled backup? This can easily be scripted and scheduled, you should also add post backup script (the very last thing Veritas does after the job gets done) that will perform hara-kiri (in form of small DOS batch or VBscript to stop all Veritas services).  

Not pretty, nor should be necessary (who on Earth wanted/requested database catalog of all backed up stuff - when flat file list stored on the tape itself would do it nicely) but the kludge should ensure forced release all the RAM Veritas would otherwise chew...
