Backup Process is Slow

Symptom:

The backup process is very slow.

Solution:

The most common reasons and solutions for which a backup process may be slow are:

• Slow processor

  Older computers have slow processors and may not be able to handle the volume of data processed during the backup and restore process. This is normal if you have an older computer with a slow processor. If your computer is up-to-date, check your hardware performance and reboot your computer.

• Poor processor performance

  Check your hardware performance and reboot your computer.

• Open applications

  You may have applications running that use excessive processing power. Close all of your applications before you begin the backup and restore process.
