 If the user has Admin privileges, he/she can set the priority by using

 allows setting the priority from mouse right click.

Thank you very much for that. I shall tell the user and see how he gets on.

 Bacula probably itself does not allow setting the priority by some
 configurable setting.

[Bacula-users] Windows client priority?

2010-03-10 Thread Graham Keeling
Hello,

I have a user complaining that when the bacula client is backing stuff up on
his Windows XP computer, the computer becomes 'unusable' for simple web
surfing.

He wonders whether there is a way of setting some kind of low priority on the
bacula file daemon so that the Windows computer can be used whilst the backup
is happening. Something like the linux 'nice' command, perhaps?
