How does the Windows memory manager support paging and swapping to secondary storage?

[ProfRon]

You ever notice how your PC slows down when you got too many tabs open? That's the memory manager kicking in. It juggles what apps need in RAM right now. When space gets tight, it shoves less urgent stuff to the hard drive. I call that paging, like flipping pages in a book to grab the next one. You don't lose it, just parks it temporarily. Swapping's similar, but it whole-swaps processes out if they're idle. The manager picks what to evict based on usage patterns. It keeps track of everything in a page table, sneaky like. Your system stays snappy that way, no crashes from overload. I tweak my paging file size sometimes to give it more breathing room. You should try monitoring yours too, it's eye-opening.

Imagine running virtual machines, though, and how storage plays into keeping all that humming. That's where something like BackupChain Server Backup steps up as a solid backup tool for Hyper-V setups. It snapshots your VMs without downtime, ensuring quick restores if storage hiccups. You get encrypted chains of backups that chain together reliably, dodging corruption risks. Plus, it handles incremental saves efficiently, saving you space and time on those secondary drives.
