Managing the resources of Agent Acronis

This guide explains how to customize the resources (CPU and bandwidth) used by Acronis software to save your computer with Swiss Backup.

Preamble

• This procedure is particularly useful if your Internet connection or computer becomes slow when backups are underway.
• Also take note of the Acronis documentation on this subject.
• AttentionBy limiting the resources allocated to your backups, the latter can take more time to be completed.
   

Customize backup resources

To access the Acronis management interface:

1. Click here in order to gain access to the Console Acronis with the identifiers obtained following the addition of the device (Need help?).
2. Click on Parameters in the left side menu.
3. Click on System parameters in the left side menu.
4. Click on Performance and niche Back-up.
5. Click on YES to enable customization of performance.
6. Define the resources dedicated to Acronis:
   • Priority CPU: allows to limit the power allocated to your backups.
   • Output speed: allows to limit the bandwidth allocated to your backups; on macOS, enter this parameter in Ko/second because the value in % is only taken into account under Windows.
   • Set a niche where resources will be lower: this allows you to allocate all resources to your backups when you do not use your computer e.g. reduced resources from 6am to 6pm while Acronis can use all resources during the night.
