Operation thread priority: Enables to set the priority of operation thread, which performs backup, restoration or synchronization. This parameter is used to control consumption of resources: the lower is the priority, the less resources are consumed, but the operation can take more time. You can change thread priority dynamically. When you click the "Apply" button during operation execution, the priority is immediately updated for all working threads that are performing the operation.

Temporary folder: Enables to specify on which drive the TEMP directory will be located. Backup Platinum creates temporary files in case of compression, encryption and backup onto CD/DVD discs. If there is not enough free space in TEMP folder where such files are kept, Backup Platinum operations may fail. So in this case, you can select another location for Backup Platinum TEMP files.

Use Windows TEMP folder: If this option is checked, the program will place its temporary files to the standard Windows TEMP folder (folder path will be displayed in the box below). Otherwise, you can select another location for temporary files. Uncheck the option, click "Browse for temporary folder" button and select a new temporary folder.
