Throttle bandwidth properties

To access this setting, in the web UI select Hosts > Host properties. Select the primary server. If necessary click Connect, then click Edit primary server. Click Throttle bandwidth.

Use the Throttle bandwidth properties to specify a limit for the network bandwidth or transfer rate that NetBackup clients use on a network. The actual limiting occurs on the client side of the backup connection. These properties limit only backups. Restores are unaffected. The default is that the bandwidth is not limited.

The Throttle bandwidth properties are similar to the Bandwidth host properties, but offer greater flexibility in IPv6 environments.

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI.
  2. On the left, click Hosts > Host properties.
  3. Select the primary server. If necessary, click Connect. Then click Edit primary server.
