Manage the resources of the Acronis Agent
This guide explains how to customize the resources (CPU and bandwidth) used by the Acronis software to back up your computer with Swiss Backup.
Preamble
- This procedure is particularly useful if your Internet connection or your computer become slow when backups are in progress.
- Also, refer to the Acronis documentation on this topic.
- Warning: by limiting the resources allocated to your backups, these may take longer to complete.
Customize the resources dedicated to backups
To access the Acronis management interface:
- Click here to access the Acronis Console with the credentials obtained after adding the device (need help?).
- Click on Settings in the left sidebar.
- Click on System Settings in the left sidebar.
- Click on Performance and backup window.
- Click on YES to enable performance customization.
- Set the resources dedicated to Acronis:
- CPU Priority: allows you to limit the power allocated to your backups.
- Output speed: allows you to limit the bandwidth allocated to your backups; on macOS, enter this parameter in Ko/second as the percentage value is only taken into account under Windows.
- Set a time frame during which resources will be lower: this allows you to allocate all resources to your backups when you are not using your computer, for example, reduced resources from 6 am to 6 pm while Acronis can use all resources at night.
