It looks like s3backer is using 2.3% of memory. So what exactly is the problem?

We have a daily backup running and copies file to bucket everyday thru rysc
,Now it is using 2.3% but it will grow to peak after some days(2 GB and above)
without coming back to normal state.
Finally s3backer process will go to 'D' state ,and there is no other option
except rebooting the server.

OK, sounds like there is a memory leak, at least in your particular setup.
If you have a C developer handy you might try running s3backer under gdb and
once it has filled up memory try to see if you can determine what is being
leaked.

I don't have C developer nor me :( , Do you find any wrong values in my
configuration? , How others are using in there setup.
Does s3backer really has memory leak issue with centos 6 setup?(Pls provide any
related links).. If I update my OS version will it resolves the problem?

If you are only using the command-line flags that are shown then your
configuration is fine. If you were using a very large, in-memory block cache
then that could cause those symptoms, but it appears you are using the default
block cache size of 1000, so that would not be it (64KB x 1000 = 64MB max).
Updating the O/S could possibly fix the problem if the problem is within one of
the libraries that s3backer links to (e.g., libcurl, libopenssl, etc.). That's
just speculation however. Worth a try if you can do it.

Yes I am using the same command line configuration, Let you know the status
after OS up gradation.

Hey Archie,
I have a doubt, Now s3backer and s3bucket is already mounted in production AWS,
can I install and configure same s3backer and s3bucket into my local machine?
I think it is like NFS where we can mount multiple times in different m/c's
,Please let me know if this works and doesn't harm production server.

I'll assume you are using a normal "upper" filesystem like ext4. If so then you
must NOT mount s3backer from two different systems at the same time. Only a few
very specialized "upper" filesystems support doing that.
s3backer is just like a hard disk.. you wouldn't connect the same hard disk to
two different machines at the same time either, unless those machines had some
special software.
