The performance dip will be more significant while using disk-bound applications rather than CPU-intensive software.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disk-bound processes are any input or output processes that you carry out on your Macbook. These include editing text files, downloading files, or copy-pasting files to different locations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CPU-dependent software includes things like video editors, internet applications, or applications like Java that may be running on your Macbook.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These apps don&rsquo;t require constant access to the hard disk so they aren&rsquo;t subjected to the performance dip as much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, you can maintain your Macbook&rsquo;s performance while Time Machine is running if you use an SSD or external drive as the primary storage device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-use-the-internet-and-other-applications-while-time-machine-is-backing-up\">Can I use the internet and other applications while Time Machine is backing up?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can use the internet and other applications while you back up your data on your Mac using Time Machine. However, your PC will be incredibly sluggish when you try to open any application that is disk bound while the backup is occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any application that utilizes your hard disk will experience a significant speed and performance dip when you are simultaneously backing up data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because there are many processes utilizing your hard disk, potentially overwhelming it. The hard drive is forced to allot time to each process (time slicing), resulting in slower speeds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you&rsquo;re just reading an email or an article online, you will not experience any performance dips, as simply browsing the internet does not require much disk usage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-continue-to-use-my-mac-normally-during-a-large-backup\">Can I continue to use my Mac normally during a large backup?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You can continue to use your Mac generally during a large backup. However, if your Mac only has a single hard drive, creating a backup on Time Machine, large or small, will drastically lower the speed of your PC due to high disk usage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid a performance hit during your backups, you can install an SSD on your Mac. An SSD is way faster than an HDD and can drastically decrease the time for larger backups to be created. It can also maintain a better performance of your Mac during a backup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Time Machine requires an external storage device to save data on, using an SSD as the external device as well as an internal SSD on your Mac will reduce time lags while creating a backup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-time-machine-backup\">What is Time Machine backup?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Time Machine is a feature available on Mac that lets you back up all your data in an external hard drive. This comes in handy if you decide to upgrade your Macbook or reinstall your iOS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Time Machine requires an external storage device to save your data. Once you connect it to your Mac and set it as your backup disk, your computer will automatically back up all your data on it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how to set up your external storage so your Macbook automatically backs up your data:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Connect your external storage device to your Mac<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\"><li>Go to the Apple menu &gt; select &ldquo;System Preferences&rdquo;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/img_6315df210a60a.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"641\" height=\"270\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20641%20270'%3E%3Crect%20width='641'%20height='270'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" width=\"641\" height=\"270\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/img_6315df210a60a.png.webp\" class=\"eager-load\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\"><li>Click the &ldquo;Time Machine&rdquo; icon &gt; &ldquo;Select Backup Disk&rdquo;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/img_6315df236cbf2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"692\" height=\"587\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/img_6315df236cbf2.png.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"692\" height=\"587\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/img_6315df2572a1f.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"577\" height=\"394\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/img_6315df2572a1f.png.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"577\" height=\"394\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\"><li>Select the external storage device that you connected to your computer<\/li><li>Tick the &ldquo;Back Up Automatically&rdquo; option to automatically backup your data to your external disk<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/img_6315df281da86.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"577\" height=\"394\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/img_6315df281da86.png.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"577\" height=\"394\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-time-machine-and-icloud-backup\">What is the difference between Time Machine and iCloud backup?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Time Machine is a feature that lets you store your data locally on an external drive and doesn&rsquo;t require any sort of internet connection. The data storage limit with Time Machine is the size of your external drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, iCloud backup requires an internet connection to store your data.

If you&rsquo;re backing up data for the first time, it may take up to a few hours.

By default, the backup process is set to a low priority for CPU usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is helpful if you&rsquo;ve already backed up your data once, as subsequent Time Machine backups do not impact your Mac&rsquo;s performance when using it as much as a full backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you&rsquo;re planning to do a full backup, you can make it a foreground process and give it a high priority at the expense of other processes to optimize backup speed, assuming you won&rsquo;t be using the Mac during backup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, open the Terminal app and copy the following command in the terminal window: <br>&ldquo;sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0&rdquo;.
