Of course not...

$Conf{TopDir}      = '/data/BackupPC';

and the process that uses a lot of RAM is BackupPC.  Here is a line of "top"

5305 backuppc  16   0 1527m 864m  624 S  1.0 85.5   0:45.15 BackupPC_dump


The RSS is 864m and VM is 1527m.  Quite large in my opinion.  Here is 
the output of df:
