Yes, I have enabled spooling to try and be able to do a backup as the server 
kept on running out of memory. It was running out of memory when I was not 
spooling as well. So at this point of time I have no idea what else to do. My 
other backups from NFS works fine which is about 600GB, it is just this 11TB 
that is giving me trouble. Both the 600GB and the 11TB is on the same NetApp, I 
do not spool the 600GB.
