CBBackup high memory usage regression in 3.0.1

Duplicate issue - https://couchbasecloud.atlassian.net/browse/MB-14833#icft=MB-14833

Hi team, is this also happening on 3.0.2 and 3.0.3?
can we mark this for 3.1 if we plan on pushing the fix there in "fixversion"?
thanks

If you’re trying to backup large dataset and hit any performance regressions or high memory consumption with CBBackup tool in 3.0/3.0.1 CE. Follow the following workarounds to mitigate the issue -

Steps:

• Grab cbbackupwrapper patch from S3:

> wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/support.couchbase.com/CBBackup-Patch/orig.patch

• Apply the patch to file /opt/couchbase/lib/python/cbbackupwrapper:

> patch -p1 < orig.patch

• This patch enables --sequential flag, which basically controls limits
  the amount of backfills we do while performing backup.

Sample command:

> /opt/couchbase/bin/cbbackupwrapper http://<cluster-ip>:8091 <backup_dir> -u <username> -p <password> --path /opt/couchbase/bin/ -x —sequential -n <no_vbucket_per_batch>

Note: Important thing to note here is the number you're passing to -n flag, which controls the number of vbuckets to backfill at a time. You should tune it according to memory headroom you have on your couchbase node(by default, batch size is 100).
