This section describes the best practices for your backup client application.
OBM is recommended to be installed on a 64 bit machine, with multiple CPUs and cores, especially for environment setup with application specific backup module such as virtual machine, MS Exchange, or bare metal backup.
When installing the backup client application, please thoroughly evaluate the computer's specification before the installation to ensure it meets the minimum hardware requirements and recommendations.
For existing users, the backup process may take up a higher amount of CPU and may slow down the client computer due to the multi-thread implementation since version 6. Please consider upgrading your existing client computer to cope with the higher specification demand.
Please refer to 1.2 Software Compatibility List (SCL) for the system requirements of OBM.
