Operation priority

Changing the priority of an operation 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. The priority of any process running in a system determines the amount of CPU
usage and system resources allocated to that process. Decreasing the operation priority will free up
more resources for other CPU tasks. Increasing operation priority may speed up the backup process
by taking resources from the other currently running processes. The effect will depend on total CPU
usage and other factors.

You can set up the backup process priority:



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



Normal - the backup process will have equal priority with other processes



High - the backup process will run faster, but the performance of other programs will be
reduced. Be aware that selecting this option may result in 100% CPU usage by True Image Lite
