Adjusting the speed of a backup
Depending on your computer's speed, amount of installed RAM, and the number
of programs you run during a backup, your computer can become sluggish.
You can manually adjust the effect of a backup on the performance of your
computer to match your needs at the moment. This feature is useful while you
work on your computer and do not want the backup process to slow you down.
To adjust the speed of a backup

While a backup is running, on the View menu, click Progress and
Performance.

Do one of the following:
■ If you want to increase the speed of your computer by reducing the speed
of the backup, drag the slider toward Slow.
■ If you want the backup to complete quickly, and you have minimal work
to do on your computer, drag the slider toward Fast.

When you are finished, click Hide to dismiss the Progress and Performance
dialog box.
