4.5 Backup priority
Changing the priority of a backup 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 backup priority will free up more
resources for other CPU tasks. Increasing backup 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 Acronis True
