Bandwidth Throttling

The bandwidth throttling option enables you to limit the network bandwidth used by backup jobs. This helps in balanced network usage in a work environment.

Information Note: If bandwidth throttling is configured in both client and backup server, then the bandwidth throttling setting of the backup server will be active over client settings for backup jobs

  • When you enabled bandwidth throttling from the client-side, you will have two options to choose from:
    • Throttle bandwidth always
