Hi

Thanks for the fast replies and sorry for my slow response. It seems my 
spooling was not working right, but I have it working now. I am not sure what 
uses the memory up, but here is my configs:

CPU = 2 x Dual Core Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz
Memory = 4GB
Swap = 6GB
The server is connected via fibre to the tape library


bacula-dir
Director &#123;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; Name = uk-rhbackup.server.com-dir
&nbsp; DIRport = 9101&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/query.sql"
&nbsp; WorkingDirectory = "/var/bacula"
&nbsp; PidDirectory = "/var/run"
&nbsp; Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
&nbsp; Password = "1234567890-09876532123456789098765432"

I still have the box running out of memory after doing about 600GB, if I spool 
data it is also very slow.
