To regard this backing store as an addressable part of a "virtual memory" rather than a storage mechanism is a misunderstanding of how virtual memory works. See superuser.com/questions/748743/… | |

When a program accesses an unallocated page it causes a page fault which triggers the operating system to read it from the page file to physical RAM and map it back into the virtual address space. | |
