the disk. You can limit the hard disk usage by the backup process to the desired level.
The preset is: Maximum.

Click Writing speed stated as a percentage of the maximum speed of the destination hard disk,
and then drag the slider or select a percentage in the box

Click Writing speed stated in kilobytes per second, and then enter the writing speed in kilobytes
