When you have a program or a document open, you are using RAM, or "working memory." Putting a large amount of data on a clipboard (copy/paste) will also decrease your available memory. Closing the programs, clearing the copy/paste will restore your RAM in most cases. Some programs do not release all of the memory, so you may have to reboot your computer to reclaim the RAM.

The more RAM available to the back-up program - the quicker it will complete its actions.
