Veeam.Backup.RestAPIService.exe high memory usage

[b.vanhaastrecht]

Hi,

We noticed that the Veeam.Backup.RestAPIService.exe process consistently uses around 1.2 GB of memory on all our managed V12.3 VBR servers. This seems quite high for such a relatively small service. The memory usage does not increase over time; instead, after a restart or start, it quickly climbs to this level and then remains stable. Could you explain why the memory consumption is reasonably this high?

Thanks, regards,
Bastiaan

Hi Bastiaan,

The API Service in two of my labs is consuming 950MB and 1.2GB, respectively.
I can start a discussion with our QA team to find out what’s happening in the background and why it requires 1-1.5GB, but this will take time due to the upcoming v13 release.

If you feel that 1.2GB is too much, please feel free to open a case with our customer support so they can investigate the logs from your backup server.

Best,
Fabian
