Cache disturbed by backup?

I’ve been using PrimoCache and it worked pretty well, until a power failure corrupted my system last week. So I decided to do backups regularly to save myself when such thing happens again. However, I noticed that after I setup the daily backup, the hit rate dropped significantly. I wonder if anyone else is running regular backup and knows how to set it up correctly without ruining primocache.

I do incremental backup every day using Acronis

Pause your cache before doing any backup. Primocache will cache all the recent read and push out your most of current cached data. I used acronis myself and know this behavior.

How do you do so automatically? I tried to pause it by command line scripts but Acronis failed to pause it since admin privilege is needed to pause PrimoCache.

You need to run the command prompt as administrator.
