 To disable overwriting of specific files, click the Add... button to create an exclusion criterion.

 While specifying the criteria, you can use the common Windows wildcard characters. For

example, to preserve all files with extension .exe, you can add *.exe. Adding My???.exe will

preserve all .exe files with names consisting of five symbols and starting with “my”.

To delete a criterion, for example, added by mistake, click the Delete icon to the right of the

criterion.

4.14.7 Performance of recovery operation

On the Performance tab you can configure the following settings:

Operation priority

Changing the priority of a backup or recovery process can make it run faster or slower (depending on

whether you raise or lower the priority), but it can also adversely affect the performance of other

running programs. The priority of any process running in a system, determines the amount of CPU

usage and system resources allocated to that process. Decreasing the operation priority will free

more resources for other CPU tasks. Increasing backup or recovery priority may speed up the process

by taking resources from the other currently running processes. The effect will depend on total CPU

usage and other factors.

You can set up the operation priority:

 Low (enabled by default) - the backup or recovery process will run slower, but the performance

of other programs will be increased.

 Normal - the backup or recovery process will have the equal priority with other processes.

 High - the backup or recovery process will run faster, but the performance of other programs will

be reduced. Be aware that selecting this option may result in 100% CPU usage by True Image

2013.

4.14.8 Notifications for recovery operation

Sometimes a backup or recovery procedure can last an hour or longer. True Image 2013 can notify

you when it is finished via e-mail. The program can also duplicate messages issued during the

operation or send you the full operation log after operation completion.

By default all notifications are disabled.

Free disk space threshold

You may want to be notified when the free space on the backup storage becomes less than the

specified threshold value. If after starting a backup True Image 2013 finds out that the free space in

the selected backup location is already less than the specified value, the program will not begin the

actual backup process and will immediately inform you by displaying an appropriate message. The

message offers you three choices - to ignore it and proceed with the backup, to browse for another

location for the backup or to cancel the backup.

If the free space becomes less than the specified value while the backup is being run, the program

will display the same message and you will have to make the same decisions.

To set the free disk space threshold:
