5.3.5 Backup performance

The three options below might have a more or less noticeable effect on the backup process
speed. This depends on overall system configuration and the physical characteristics of the
devices.
1. Backup priority
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 might 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 Seagate/Maxtor DAS may slow other programs’
performance because of the large amounts of data transferred to the disk. You can limit the
hard disk usage by Seagate BlackArmor Backup to a 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.
