Hi - My apologies also as i think i mentioned the no activity bit on another post !!!!
I have ran the query on the server but i cant find the location. It is on Windows Sever 2008.
c:\program files\red gate\sql backup 7\localIn the local i can see SQBCoreService - application, sqlbackupC - application, unins000.dat, unins000 -application and zlib1.dll
There is also a x64 folder with xp_sqlbackupdll
but no text file ! / comments

Hi Peter.
We have 2 different databases on the server(s) that had the problem,both getting transaction log backups every 10mins. Looking at the graph in sql backup they seem to occur at the same time.
I have grabbed the sql the sql backup tool generates for the job and added it to the end of this reply.
In answer to your last question:
'Is there a specific interval where the backups cause the CPU utilization to max out, or does it happen with every transaction log backup?'
No there is no specific interval where the backups cause a problem - its very random as to when the issue occurs on different servers. As I mentioned - all servers have 2 databases which have tranaction log backups every 10 mins.

DECLARE @sqlerrorcode int

I will try that however that doesnt really explain why this is happening.
We have always used level 4 with no issues.
As i mentioned the cpu pressure is high even when no backups are occuring on the system at the end of business hours. When nobody is using the server at night the cpu is at around 50% and that 50% is being used by the process sqbcoreservice. So how would compression levels effect an idle server ? / comments

ah ok.
I can see SQBCoreService @ 44.9%
and
sqlservr @ 44.0%
I understand that the sqbcoreservice is not meant to cpu intensive ? Is this correct ?
Any pointers on where i go from here ? / comments

We have transaction log backups every 10 minutes but the full backups are done during the night.
The transaction log backups run througout the day with no issues. How come the cpu would be so high for this service ? / comments

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have seen this post as it is just from the 'SQL Monitor' description field.
I have checked out the scripts in the link. What i am really asking here is what to do once i have identified this large object in the buffer cache. Do i somehow flush it from the cache, then maybe use one of the methods listed so it doesnt take up as much space the next time it is loaded in memory ? / comments
