I’m running PA 21.00.17 64-bit on a 64-bit i7 desktop with W10 Pro, latest version. This 32gb of installed RAM.
As I use the PA pbs system for a number of scheduled archiving operations throughout the day, PA Starter is set to load and run at system startup.
In the course of trying to identify some causes of slowness and bottlenecks in other processes, I notice that PA Starter (PAS) always runs at between 11% and 15% of CPU (see screenshot), usually at about 12-13%. This is by far the highest demanding process on the system, as shown by Task Manager. In Performance Monitor, PAS Average CPU is 8.32, with every other process at less that 1 i.e. in decimal places only.
Task Manager also shows PAS Power Usage as “Very High”, and is the only process shown thus.
I have looked again at the information about PAS at https://wiki.powerarchiver.com/en:help:details:powerarchiver_starter, which was last modified in 2016. The article states a low memory usage for PAS of 784k, which is fair enough, but it is the large CPU overhead which is of concern.
It is of course possible to change the PAS priority, but this has no effect on CPU overhead.
However, is it possible to change PAS, which is required only at intervals to initiate PA scheduled tasks, from consuming so much system resource for every moment of the day?

i just registered my own copy and i need some help to set it…

consider this as a feature request also if not available within the 2022 version

I am looking for a way to stop the UAC elevation prompt when running Powerarchiver. In an old post about PA 2019, someone asked this and got a response to uncheck “all users” at the prompt but I am not seeing where one can do this. It definitely seems like the way to go though as if I click on “More Details” at the prompt I see that it is trying to run “_pautil.exe /paassociate /allusers /my(long binary string)”. Can you let me know? Thanks.
PS I tried renaming _pautil.exe and this worked, but I don’t know what the consequence of doing this may be so I would like to do this properly, thanks.

Just a question is Ashampoo zip pro 4 built by Powerrachiver as it is very similar and uses the pae encryption.

There would be many of us with Intel Processors.
and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.
Reference:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdfCan we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?
Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

From within PA on the extract popup, buttons are hidden, I must resize the window to get access to the OK/Cancel buttons. Tried on the default notebook screen (Macbook M1 Max 14") as well as on my external monitor (4k).Screenshot_2022-05-12_10-02-10.jpg

Just uncompressed a RAR file that has a folder within, PA created the folder but the files inside are not being saved into folder because directory separator is a BACKSLASH (Windows style) instead of SLASH (macOS).Screenshot_2022-05-12_09-59-08.jpg

I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.
The same problem occured with PA2018 and it was solved with an update, but I don’t remember the detailed software version.
Could you check the possibility of an bug, please?
Thank you for your support in advance!
Questions about PowerArchiver Backup…
-
Hello.
I am attempting to evaluate whether or not PowerArchiver Backup would suit my backup needs, and I require some assistance. I have the following questions:
- Does an incremental backup back up in whole the files that have changed, or only the changed data in those files? In other words, if I make a 1 KB change to a 1 GB file, will the incremental backup be small or large?
- How does the incremental backup handle deleted files? I understand that PowerArchiver uses the archive flag of files to determine whether or not to back them up, but how does PowerArchiver know whether a file has been deleted and how does it store this information in the backup file?
- If for example I do a full backup and then four incremental backups, how many backup files will I end up with? One? Five?
- How do I go about restoring from the backup? Does PowerArchiver provide any special functionality for this, or do I need to manually extract the initial full backup and then each incremental backup after that?
I would appreciate it if someone could take the time to answer these. Thanks.
-
Hi Dangermouse, welcome to the forum!
Would like to ask a preliminary question, how would you like your incremental backups to appear?
All backup in one archive or each incremental backup to be in it’s separate archive with a timestamp that you can manually set?Thanks!
-
I don’t mind whether they appear to be stored in separate archives or in a single archive, as long as the incremental backups are linked to the full backup and the restore process is easy.
-
PowerArchiver compresses full changed files, into separate archive.
Benefits of that is that it is more usable for DVD backup, and that losing one of the incremental backups will not destroy your complete backup.
What you are talking about is how online backups work, is that they change only parts of data from changed files (depending on type of file, it could be more or less). Which is good, if your data storage is 100% reliable.
We are actually planning to do such utility in the future, but it is completely different concept and it will be different utility (free “upgrade” for Toolbox users only).
We have all the backup differential code done with our own engine, and we are actually more efficient than all these online backups when it comes to how much data is stored after change (up to 30%), but we are waiting to finish up our new format in order to do that as that will compress pdf’s, office files and jpegs much more efficiently.
http://ideas.powerarchiver.com/
But again, it is very different concept and more suited to online backups where you can be 100% sure that you will not lose original backup and any of the version files.
If you are burning to DVD, I am not sure which concept would i recommend right now.

Thank you both for replies.

I would definitely be interested in seeing such a feature.

I am currently backing up to an external hard drive.
I think I’ve had most of my questions answered now, but the following two still remain:
- How does the incremental backup handle deleted files? Does PowerArchiver store information about which files have been deleted in the incremental backup?
- How do I go about restoring from the backup? Does PowerArchiver provide any special functionality for this, or do I need to manually extract the initial full backup and then each incremental backup after that?
-
it doesnt handle any of that, they are just archives, just created based on your settings, which are extensive.
Extraction shouldnt be that complicated, for minimum fuss, you can just select all of them and sort by date and extract (and overwrite older ones).
Out Backup is basically most advanced way that exists to create ordinary archives.
