There have been no replies to this posting yet, but FYI the problem is
resolved.

Curiously, although the memory was being hogged by nsrmmdbd, it was not
a media DB problem. Rolling back the media DB using mmrecov did not
resolve the problem. Nor did "rebuilding" (scavenging) the media index.

Finally a complete DR to a point 2 weeks ago resolved it, and we are
busy scanning in the intervening volumes.

So it points to a client file index corruption.

Subject: [Networker] nsrmmdbd does not release memory.

The NW server is running Win2000 with SP4 and NW 7.2.1 for windows.

As backups proceed, the amount of memory used by the nsrmmdbd process
grows steadily until it interferes with the basic memory requirements
for the server which then hangs.

After a reboot, everything is back to normal.

Also, if NW services are restarted, the memory is released.

A small to medium backup succeeds, but the memory which has been
allocated to nsrmmdbd does not get released.

The next backup causes the memory allocated to nsrmmdbd to start growing
from the previous level. Finally, too much memory is used and the server
hangs.

Possible complicating factor is that the NW server is running Windows
2000 Terminal Services version.
 
Has anyone seen this and resolved it ?

Thanks
