By default it tries to use as much memory as it can, like all db engines - but can be configured to be more polite. One drawback I could find is that VSS uses a "file server" approach, while CVSNT and SQL Server uses a "application server" approach. Microsoft servers have an option to be configured for "file server" or "application server" utilization, different caches are allocated. Go to My network places -> Properties, right click the network connection, select Properties, select File and printer sharing for Microsoft, click property and select the best optimization for your needs. -- Luigi D.
