Fast Incremental/Differential Backup - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE ECHO - SERVER FOR WINDOWS User Manual

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 the 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 the 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.
If you frequently backup data to network drives, think of limiting the network usage used
by Acronis True Image Echo Server. To set the desired data transfer speed, drag the
slider or enter the bandwidth limit for transferring backup data in kilobytes per second.
This setting is also applied to an FTP connection, if an FTP server is selected as backup
destination device.

5.3.7 Fast incremental/differential backup

The preset is Use fast incremental/differential backup.
Incremental/differential backup captures only changes in data occurred since the last
backup. To speed up the backup process, Acronis True Image Echo Server determines
whether the file has changed by file size and the date/time when the file was last saved.
Disabling this feature will make the program compare the entire file contents to that
stored in the archive.
This option relates only to disk/partition (image) backup.
