Improving your computer's performance during a backup
If a backup is running on your computer, your computer's performance might slow down. The slow down in the computer's performance might be more prominent if it is the one creating an independent recovery point. The performance slows down because Veritas System Recovery uses your computer's hard disk and memory resources to perform the backup.
You can change the speed of the backup to minimize the effect of Veritas System Recovery on your computer while you work.
Note: During a backup or recovery, you have the option of overriding this default setting to fit your needs at that moment.
