Performance speed while "backup" task is running
firmware 6.9.1
readynas 2120
While a backup task is running (coping from NAS to USB) the performance of the NAS take a notable drop. It takes longer to write files to NAS and longer browse/read through files on the NAS. If the backup task was writing a bunch of info to the NAS then the slowdown would make more sense, but it is only reading info to copy to the USB.
Is this normal behavior?
Can the NAS make the backup task a secondary priority so that there more CPU power for other taskes?

Hi FG
NAS running different processes such as a backup job certainly uses resources and you might notice a slight effect on it's performance but it should not cause too much.
We can check the logs to see what really is causing the performance drop of your NAS, you can send it to us using the guide on my Sig.

Hi FG
Have you enabled quotas? How ofthen do you take snapshots? You may try to disable quotas and see if you can reduce the snapshot frequency. You might be experiencing the slow performance due to this, also your data volume should be below 85% full, if ever it gets to that point it is always advised to free up space to eliminate performance issues.
Hope this helps
