Are you using ZFS? 
Is it the ARC cache filling up as each file is read by networker?

Hi, i have confgured a new backup of a solaris 10 server using networker 7.5.1. 
When the backup starts the backup of data is successful but the swap space on 
the server is being used up. The swap space is not free after the backup and a 
reboot of the server is required to free the swap space.
 
The server has 16gb of swap space and a level full backup has used up 8gb of 
swap space. A level full backup of all savesets is just under 8gb in total and 
there are not lots of small files. We can watch the swap space being used up as 
the backup progresses. 
 
The networker server is windows 2008 running networker faststart 7.5.1. The 
backup is to lto4 devices on a quantum i40 library.

Has anyone seen this problem before?
Is this a know bug?
 
Thanks, Mark Wragge
