Data upload speed
When you back up data to Acronis Cloud, network drives, or FTP, you can change the connection
speed used by Acronis True Image 2017. Set the connection speed that will allow you to use Internet
and network resources without annoying slowdowns.
To set up the connection speed, select one of the following options:

Optimal
The data transfer rate is not changed by Acronis True Image 2017.

Maximum (available for online backups only)
This option significantly speeds up the upload process, but at the same time the Internet
connection speed decreases for other applications. The optimization mechanism splits the data
into small portions, and then uploads these portions via multiple network connections. In the
target Acronis data center, the split data is assembled back to the initial state, and then stored in
the cloud storage.

Custom
You can specify a maximum value for data upload speed.
2.12 What is Acronis Cloud?
Remote storage
On the one hand, Acronis Cloud is a secure remote storage which you can use to store your backups
and archives. Because files are stored in remote storage, you can recover the entire contents of your
Mac if a disaster or data corruption event occurs.
