Setting Backup Speed

Backup Speed determines how much of your computer's resources (CPU) are dedicated to encrypting and backing up your files. You can choose to have faster backups or better performance for your computer.

To set backup speed:

Right-click the Secure Backup and Share Desktop Client icon in your system tray, then select Settings.
Choose one of these options:
- To quickly set the backup speed, select Backup Speed, then click either Slow, Medium or Fast.
- To have more options in setting the backup speed, go to the next step.
Click More Settings. The Settings window opens.
Click Options, then click the Performance tab.
Under Backup Speed, click and hold the slider, then drag it to the right for quicker backups or to the left for faster computer performance.
When you have finished changing settings, click OK. Your settings are saved and the Settings window closes.
Note: You do not need to be logged in to Windows to back up. However, your computer must be turned on, not in sleep or hibernation mode, and must be connected to the Internet.
