Smartware - User selected Schedule times for increase Smartware activity

User selects times when the computer may be idle, at night for the initial backup or the weekend.

I have over 800,000 CAD files approx 300 GB of data, the Smartware doesnt cause a problem normally, but would possibly be aided by being able to increase activity when the user isnt present.  So far it has taken 2 weeks and it has only done 120,000 files approx 22 GB.

Hi,

2 weeks is a lot of time, but there are a lot of factors that may decrease the backup speed, such as computer speed and amount of files just to name a few.

You can post this as a suggestion in the Ideas Section.
