The priority of any process running in the operating system determines the amount of CPU usage

and system resources allocated to that process. Decreasing the image creation priority will free

more resources for other programs. Increasing the image creation priority could speed up the

imaging by taking resources from the other running processes. The effect will depend on the

total CPU usage and other factors.

Splitting

Defines how to split a sizable image into two or more files that together make up the original

image.

The preset is: Only when it is required

With this setting, the program will act as follows.

When creating the image on a hard disk

If the selected disk has enough space and its file system allows the estimated file size, the

software will create a single image file.

If the storage disk has enough space, but its file system does not allow the estimated file size,

the image will automatically be split into two or more files. Such might be the case when the

image is placed on FAT16 and FAT32 file systems that have a 4-GB file size limit.

If free space on the disk runs out while creating an image, the operation will stop with an

error.

When creating an image on a CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or recordable Blu-ray Disc (BD-R,

BD-RE)

Acronis Snap Deploy 5 Master Image Creator will ask you to insert a new disc when the

previous one is full.
