I have worked a bit with Mas90 system. Different modules have different
memory requirements. Does the problem appear in any of the modules? I
can't remember off hand but it may have been the Inventory module that
required a lot of memory. As far as the backup goes, does it ever lock
up during it? What about your memory during a backup? Do your file cache
buffers drop low? How about diskspace?

The verify option hmmm. This is interesting. I would try out a few tests
and see if this is how it works. Is TTS on?
