hi Again

I really find it strange....

Last night I was here in the house, making a Restore on our server
using Gbak from the command line.

It runs very fast until it reaches a point where it starts creating
index etc.

Here it cunsumes ALL available RAM and the speed drops dramatically !

Last night i took me almost 120 minuttes to restore.

This morning I try the exact same on my labtop.
I did the same restore from the same backup file.
It took 23 minuttes on my labtop. And the amount of available memory
was never below 250 Mb.

I really annoys me, that it is so slow doing a restore.
As I see it, the conditions are the same, except that the server
should be much faster than my labtop when doing a restore.


Just for the fun of it, I tried to do the same restore on a new server
we have just installed here. This server runs Windows 2003 on a
ordinary IDE drive. Also here it consumed all available memory.


Is this just something that happens to me ?
If it is, I must be doing something wrong !
