Windows 2008 R2 SP1
BE 2012 SP1a - Media server
CPU: Quad Core
Ram :50 GB
Deduplication folder size : 30 TB
When there are 6 concurrent backup running on the CASO on the Vmware virtual machines backup the memory usage will reached 100% and backup jobs will failed or backup server hanged. While backup of from the BE media server with 6 concurrent job on physical server via BE agent dont have this issue.
We have also disable the antivirus from scanning the BE processess , MS SQL databases and deduplication folder mount point based on symantec best practise.
Below are the technote that is related to my issue without any resolution yet other that restart BE server services after a few backup .
Beserver.exe is using up all available RAM(Memory) until the service is restarted in Backup Exec 201...
This issue is resolved in Backup Exec 2012 Service Pack 1a. (TECH186717)

I can confirm this
- BE 2012 SP1a with all hotfixes
- win 2k8 R2 with all hotfixes
After every Job, some memory is hold back. It may be related to copy-jobs. We start D2T Jobs at 2pm. As you can see in the picture, memory usage grows from this point.
