It is critical to note that these commands, as opposed to Pre/post commands above,
will be executed before and after
data capture
process, which takes seconds, while the
entire backup procedure may take quite long time. Therefore, the database idle time will
be minimal.
Unchecking the Do not perform operations until the commands execution is
complete box, checked by default, will permit the backup process to run concurrently
with your commands execution.
5.3.5 Compression level
The preset is Normal.
If you select None, the data will be copied without any compression, which may
significantly increase the backup file size. However, if you select Maximum compression,
the backup will take longer to create.
The optimal data compression level depends on the type of files stored in the archive. For
example, even maximum compression will not significantly reduce the archive size if the
archive contains essentially compressed files, like .jpg, .pdf or .mp3.
Generally, it is recommended that you use the default Normal compression level. You
might want to select Maximum compression for removable media to reduce the number
of blank disks required.
5.3.6 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 physical characteristics
of devices.
1. Backup process 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 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 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
Server 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.
