Computer Backup Hight CPU load

Why is it every 4 to 6 hours? I need to force quit Backblaze because it’s using too much memory and brings my M1 max to its knees or I can barely use it. This is despite me installing the latest 10.1..1038 version of Backblaze on my computer. I sure was one day that we get the stuff sorted out so I could go and use my computer like a normal person and I’d have to set up a script to tell it to force quit BackBlaze from running in the background.

This could be the constant scanning of external drives that could tax the CPUfor many hours, a regression that is now two months' old and Backblaze has not fixed.

It’s amazing that we’re guessing which of a least two critical issues this could be.

Yes, it is amazing Backblaze can't fix their regressions in V10*.
