3. Hot Key: When the main window minimize to system tray, you can press the Hot Key and pop up it.
4. Buffer Mode: Set up the number of records stored in the buffer. It can help you to improve the speed of backing up and restoring. The number of records depends on the size of computer memory. You can set more records if there is enough computer memory to improve the speed. The default value is recommended.
5. Performance:
   1. Sleep time: It's the wait time ( milliseconds ) of a running task. It can be used to reduces the CPU usage and make the other software quick response. But it will slow down the speed of backing up and restoring. So if it is not necessary, the default value 0 is recommended.
   2. File buffer: The size of file buffer for reading and writting the files. The software will read and write the files using the file buffer for speeding up. The size of file buffer depends on the size of computer memory. You can set more file buffer if there is enough computer memory. The default value is recommended. It is effective for the large files.
6. Automatically start up the software when the current user log in windows: If you check the option, the software will automatically start up when the current user log in Windows.
7. Disable shutdown/log off/suspend when a task running: If you check the option, a warning window will pop up when shutdown/log off/suspend Windows for continue running the tasks and avoiding breaking them.

Reset to default: Reset all of the General Options to the default values.
