Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Server 2025 - high CPU and RAM

Ok So at the risk of boring you good folk.... it seems to me that the issue really hits when Veeam is doing full backups... what evidence do I have?

Well yesterday I checked 'used' RAM over the day, every hour, and it sat at 38.5Gb. The system has had the registry setting removed and been rebooted prior to the monitoring.
This morning, after incrementals and associated data ciopies to the ReFS volumes over night, it had risen to 40Gb. The last time it used the whole 90Gb was over last weekend - coinciding with the full backups last Friday.

Tonight the full backups are scheduled.

I am back in on Tuesday next week (national holiday on Monday)- will have a look then and restart the server if necessary.
At least now with enough RAM available to actually run the system after a full backup (when I expect the 'Used' RAM to go up to 90Gbish) I can log in to reboot it cleanly rather than waiting for it to bugcheck when Windows decides to try swapping out essential parts of the OS (like VMS used to... many many years ago... told you I was old ).
