Lets you specify a default speed for backup or recovery
processes. Moving the slider closer to Fast increases the speed
at which the program backs up or recovers your computer.
However, choosing a slower speed could improve the
performance of your computer, especially if you are working
on your computer during a backup or recovery.

During a backup or recovery, you have the option to
override this default setting to fit your needs at the time.
You can also configure network throttling to limit the effects
of backups on network performance.
