Memory and Process Question. Sql Server is a process but I did not install.

Hello all,

A memory quandry I am in. Not sure if quandry is the right word.

SBS2000, SP1.

I received some errors in my health monitor, memory errors to be precise. I
looked at my processes and noticed sqlservr.exe in my list of processes. I
found this odd since I did not load SQL Server on this Server. Do other
programs that I am using use sqlservr.exe? Using Symantec Corp Edition 8.1
and BackupExec 9.0.

Have lots of RAM in this server, 1.5 gig to be precise.

Errors include:
Pages input/sec >5, Pages Reads/sec >5, Page Input/sec >5, Pages/sec >80,

and they started when I ran last night's backup.

Mem Usage on sqlservr.exe is about 50,000K.

Is there a list somehwere of what services should not be running or are
running and taking memory. Is there a way to simplify?
Thanks in advance,
JohnJ

If you search for sqlserver.exe, you should find it. I suspect it is not
coming from SQL 2000. In instead, it is a MSDE database that come as part
of the third party package (BackupExec).
