The preset is Low
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 more 
resources for other CPU tasks. Increasing the backup priority may speed up the backup 
process due to taking resources from the other currently running processes. The effect 
will depend on total CPU usage and other factors. 
2. HDD writing speed 
The preset is Maximum
Backing up in the background to an internal hard disk (for example, to the Acronis Secure 
Zone) may slow other programs’ performance because of the large amounts of data 
transferred to the disk. You can limit the hard disk usage by Acronis True Image Echo 
Enterprise Server to the desired level. To set the desired HDD writing speed for data 
being backed up, drag the slider or enter the writing speed in kilobytes per second. 
3. Network connection speed 
The preset is Maximum.  
 
If you frequently backup data to network drives, think of limiting the network usage used 
by Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server. To set the desired data transfer speed, 
drag the slider or enter the bandwidth limit for transferring backup data in kilobytes per 
second. This setting is also applied to an FTP connection, if an FTP server is selected as 
backup destination device. 
6.3.7 Fast incremental/differential backup 
The preset is Use fast incremental/differential backup. 
Incremental/differential backup captures only changes in data occurred since the last 
backup. To speed up the backup process, Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server 
determines whether the file has changed by file size and the date/time when the file was 
last saved. Disabling this feature will make the program compare the entire file contents 
to that stored in the archive. 
This option relates only to disk/partition (image) backup.
