CPU usage

Thread needs solution

I have noticed that my PC performance is being killed by Acronis 2019 backup. Cpu peaking at 100% steady at 50%.

The program doing the "damage" (checking Task Manager) is TrueImageHomeService.exe. Is this normal?

My CPU is AMD 6 core 3.6GHz so should not be slow. No other Acronis sub programes are using any capacity apparently.

The backup is differential via a USB 3 to a 4TB Seagate hybrid external drive.

Frazer, welcome to these public User Forums.

Acronis Backup is fairly intensive on CPU when processing but there are some controls that can be used to lessen the impact.

See the ATI 2019 User Guide: Performance of backup operation - where you can control the degree of compression being used, and also the Operation priority for the backup background processes.
