Assigning CPU priority for the backup process on laptops

Assigning CPU priority to the backup process

During backups, inSync client consumes processing power from the CPU. As an administrator, you can configure the priority that the operating system on user's laptop assigns to the backup process. A high CPU priority for inSync backup might affect the performance of other applications on users’ laptops. A very low CPU priority slows down the inSync backup operations. It is recommended that you set CPU priority between 5 and 6.

Note: This functionality is managed through profiles and not at individual user level.
