Solved Is It OK To Use Computer While a Backup Is In Progress

  • 2

I have a Dell XPS8300 with core i7 2400, 8gb memory, Radeon HD 6670 video card and a Western Digital 1tb drive. I use Easus ToDo backup software for backup purposes. I have researched this issue and found a lot of yes and no answers. I have a folder on my C drive(about 470gb in size) with all of my personal data that I backup onto another clean 1tb drive that I use just for backup purposes. My question is…is it okay to use the computer while the backup is running. I have read that it is a no-no if you have a single-core system but it is okay to use the computer during backup if you have a dual or quad-core system. Any replies or opinions are greatly respect and appreciated.

      You don’t need to use that program. Windows 7 has a great tool to backup your system. Windows 7 can decide how to handle changes. That means you can do what you want while the system backs up.
