A very basic question......
Please bear with me on this one - I'm not an experienced computer user! I simply want to know if my computer can still be used (for surfing the net etc.) whilst ATIH 2010 is performing or validating a backup. Many thanks, Niels Rasmussen

I've run backups while using the pc for years and never had a prob due to that fact.
Any progs run much slower whil ATI is backing up, even if the backup is set to Low Priotority and you will not have the same quick resposnses in many games taht you would have without ATI running, not because it uses so much processor time but because it uses so much of however much memory is on your machine and many games need a lot of memory to work at the right speed. In fact, even if you put say 6 or 8 GB on the machine, ATI will still try to use nearly all of it and so some games will be significantly slower, doing disk swaps instead of memory swaps.
If that sounds too technical then just remmber this, Nothing harmful happens when you use your PC while backing up, you jsut have to be more patient with yopur PC and progs when ATI is backing.

Many thanks, your comments are much appreciated. I sort of figured, in a woolly-headed empirical sense, that it would be OK to use the computer during backup; but without the advice and counsel of vastly more experienced computer buffs (such as yourselves), one is left with that nagging doubt.
