String
Normal
Purpose
The BackupThreadPriority parameter specifies the priority to be set on the threads performing the database backup. You can set the thread priority to Lowest, Low, Normal (the default), High, or Highest.
Parameter is read when …
The backup process begins.
Hint
The priority of the backup threads can be lowered so that backup processing has a lesser impact on your system. This may be beneficial when you are performing an online updating backup and you want minimal impact on the transaction response time of your system.
Alternatively, you can increase the priority of the backup threads so that the backup processing consumes more of your system’s resources. This may be beneficial when you are performing an offline backup and you want to try to minimize the time required to complete the database backup.
