3.10.7 Performance of recovery operation

On the Performance tab you can configure the following settings:

Operation priority

Changing 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. 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
more resources for other CPU tasks. Increasing backup or recovery priority may speed up the 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 operation priority:

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

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

High - the backup or recovery 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 Small
Office Backup.

3.10.8 Notifications for recovery operation

Sometimes a backup or recovery procedure can last an hour or longer. Acronis Small Office Backup
can notify you when it is finished via e-mail. The program can also duplicate messages issued during
the operation or send you the full operation log after operation completion.

By default all notifications are disabled.

Free disk space threshold

You may want to be notified when the free space on the backup storage becomes less than the
specified threshold value. If after starting a backup Acronis Small Office Backup finds out that the
free space in the selected backup location is already less than the specified value, the program will
not begin the actual backup process and will immediately inform you by displaying an appropriate
message. The message offers you three choices - to ignore it and proceed with the backup, to browse
for another location for the backup or to cancel the backup.

If the free space becomes less than the specified value while the backup is being run, the program
will display the same message and you will have to make the same decisions.

To set the free disk space threshold:

Select the Show notification message on insufficient free disk space check box

In the Size box, type or select a threshold value and select a unit of measure

Acronis Small Office Backup can monitor free space on the following storage devices:
