I love Mozy backup, but..

WTF?

The machine was up for 10 days and the mozybackup service had consumed half of my available RAM.  Restarting the service released the RAM, as expected, but that seems a bit extreme.

 

In all fairness, I was 3 patch-releases behind, though there's no auto-update feature or notification in Mozy (yet?).  I upgraded to the latest version and will keep an eye on it.  Since Mozy doesn't post release notes or a changelog, I can only hope for the best.

 

EDIT: Updating to the latest version solved the problem.  The mozybackup process is appropriately consuming 33MB after 14 days uptime.
