I have a sql 2005 quad box 16 gig of mem, having some memory issues. I see a large jump in creation of work tables every night. I kind of remember that there may be a correlation between backups and work tables. Or am I going down the wrong road.

How are you viewing the number of work tables created? Perfmon?
Work tables are created by the query processor in order to process certain query constructs (sorts, hashes, I think spools, a few other things). Do you have intensive overnight processing?
