For example, you may work on a document and save it from time to time. Do not change the default setting if you are not sure which option to choose.ĭuring a disk or partition backup process, which often takes a long time, some of the backed-up files may be in use, locked, or being modified in one way or another.

You can specify a maximum value for data upload speed. The data transfer rate is maximum within a system configuration. To set up the connection speed, select one of the following options:

Set the connection speed that will allow you to use Internet and network resources without annoying slowdowns. When you back up data to Acronis Cloud, you can change the connection speed used by Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office. Be aware that selecting this option may result in 100% CPU usage by Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office.

High-The backup or recovery process will run faster, but the performance of other programs will be reduced.

Normal-The backup or recovery process will have the equal priority with other processes.

Low (enabled by default)-The backup or recovery process will run slower, but the performance of other programs will be increased.

The effect will depend on total CPU usage and other factors. Increasing backup or recovery priority may speed up the process by taking resources from the other currently running processes. Decreasing the operation priority will free more resources for other CPU tasks. The priority of any process running in a system, determines the amount of CPU usage and system resources allocated to that process. Operation priorityĬhanging the priority of a backup or recovery process can make it run faster or slower (depending on whether you raise or lower the priority), but it can also adversely affect the performance of other running programs. You cannot set or change the compression level for a pre-existing backup.
