It might be time to bite the bullet and look at upgrading to something a bit newer and running Windows 10.

I would say Acronis 2019 is a bit more resource intensive than other applications, especially when running in conjunction with antivirus and malware protection programs and Acronis Active Protection.Īlso, FYI for your personal benefit and data security, Windows 7 is EOL in 9 months. You're running modern applications (and backup programs are integrated deeply with the OS based on the need for permissions/access and use of embedded services such as indexing and VSS).

Hate to say it, but your system is a bit of slouch - especially only being 32-bit and topping out with 4GB of ancient memory and a processor that was made somewhere between 2000-2008, making it a minimum of 11 years old and likely older, plus an OS that is on its deathbed for support. The thing though, is once the items are selected and saved to the backup script, you shouldn't need to go through this again, unless specifically picking more, new folders and using the same backup script.Īlthough I'm sure it does fine in many day to day operations, it's old and out-dated (well beyond the reasonable lifetime of industry hardware) and wouldn't invest time trying to trouble shoot this unless someone really feels inclined to.

I believe Acronis is either using Windows indexing (or something proprietary, but similar in nature for the purpose of identifying what is in those folders) and this can be resource intensive, the farther you drive into folders, or the larger the # of files grows as well.
