Enabling network throttling
You can limit the effect of a backup on network performance by enabling network throttling.
Many variables affect the network performance. Consider the following points before you use this feature:
Table: Variables that affect network performance
Variable | Description |
---|---|
Network cards | Is your network wired or wireless? What are the speeds of your network cards? |
Network backbone | What is the size of your network pipeline? Does it support 10-MB transfer rates, or 1-GB transfer rates? |
Network server | How robust is your server hardware? How fast is its processor? How much RAM does it have? Is it fast or slow? |
Backing up | How many computers are scheduled to back up at the same time? |
Network traffic | Are backups scheduled to run when network traffic is heavy or light? |
Consider using this feature only when you know what your network can handle. If you schedule your backups at staggered intervals and when network traffic is low, you may not need to use this feature. Avoid backing up multiple computers at the same time and to the same network destination.
Gather the required information about your network's performance and then schedule backups accordingly. Enable this feature and set the
to a setting that matches the circumstances.To enable network throttling
- On the Tasks menu, click Options.
- Click Performance.
- Select Enable network throttling.
- In the Maximum network throttling field, enter the maximum amount (in KB) of network throughput.
- Click OK.
