I think I figured out an update safe way. In case anyone else needs this, here's how I solved it:
Create a new directory in the `/etc` systemd configuration folder. This directory will store our `bareos-fd` custom configuration: $: sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/bareos-fd.service.d Overwrite the default process priority by setting the *Nice* configuration option in a new file, stored in the created custom configuration directory: $: sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/bareos-fd.service.d/nice.conf # Lower the priority of bareos-fd to # mitigate user performance issues # in case the backup needs to run # during work hours. [Service] Nice=10 Force systemd to reload its configuration files and restart bareos-fd: $: sudo systemctl daemon-reload $: sudo systemctl restart bareos-fd Check if the new niceness level of 10 is applied (it's the `NI` column): $: ps -el | grep bareos-fd # F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD 1 S 0 25701 1 0 90 10 - 44578 poll_s ? 00:00:00 bareos- fd Am Dienstag, 30.
