Speed up scanning...


Recommended Posts

Our company has 90% laptops which suffer horribly from this full scan before the backup kicks off due to limited drive performance.

 

From my understanding the User>Backup priority slider in the Client is only taken into account during the backup process - not the initial scanning process. Is this right?

 

If so, it would help greatly if the scan could be throttled back also, or even better, some kind of folder based checksum process put in place to make this scan as efficient as possible.

The slider bar doesn't do anything with the current versions. It is a left over UI item that is disabled.

 

Retrospect looks at the computer activity (mouse/keyboard) and throttles the performance. Scanning is always a heavy performance hit, but after the scan, user activity will have priority over the backup activity. I usually can't even tell I am being backed up.
