Hi Remco, Judging from these similar posts...
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/3736df82-e5cb-4665-a97c-eb4a70868271/information-store-database-buffer-paged-during-backup?forum=exchangesvravailabilityandisasterrecoverylegacy http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/Q_27697281.html ... it looks like it could be related to activity that the Exchange Server does during a backup. It also looks like it's a general backup issue since the same problem appears with Windows Server Backup as well. The second link above showed that increasing the page file size helped. Thank you, Del ---------------------------------------------------- "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu> wrote on 04/30/2014 07:57:25 AM: > From: Remco Post <r.p...@plcs.nl> > To: ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu, > Date: 04/30/2014 07:58 AM > Subject: memory usage TSM for exchange > Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu> > > Hi all, > > our exchange team has been investigating a problem regarding > available memory on their servers for quite some time.
