Assign CPU priority for inSync backups
License editions: To understand the applicable license editions, see Plans & Pricing.
Overview
As an administrator, you can configure the CPU priority and processing power that the inSync Client can use during backups. Druva recommends that you set the CPU priority between 5 and 6 for inSync backups.
The following table lists the CPU priority that you can assign to a profile and its impact to inSync Client.
| CPU priority | Impact on the inSync Client |
|---|---|
| Between 0-3 |
The CPU priority is set to low. Assigning a lower CPU priority might increase the time required for backup. |
| Between 4-7 | The CPU priority is set to normal. Druva recommends that you set the CPU priority between 5 and 6 for inSync backups. |
| Between 8-10 | The CPU priority is set to high. Assigning a high CPU priority might affect the performance of other applications. |
Note:
- If you allow users to update the CPU priority for the backup process, the CPU priority that the users configure overrides the CPU priority that the administrator configured.
- You can assign CPU priority to inSync through profiles. You cannot do this on an individual user level.
