Hello Uwe,

A full backup does not require any cache of previously saved files, so 
it consumes very little memory.  Only Differential and Incremental jobs 
require the Director to send the full list of previously saved files 
with their attributes to the FD.  That list requires something like 100 
bytes per file previously backed up.

Best regards,
Kern

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
