Bandwidth Throttle

Use this screen to apply a “throttle” to the outgoing and incoming bandwidth used by this DS-Client. There are two tabs, which have identical configurations except for the data direction where the “throttling” is applied:

Default Throttling • Unlimited: (DEFAULT) No throttle is applied, unless listed in the Exceptions List. • Limited to [...] KB/Sec: Throttle is applied at all times, except for periods defined in in the Exceptions List.
Except (Exceptions List) Each line represents a different detail: a specific day and time window where the listed bandwidth throttle applies. This overrides the default throttling selection (above). • Start Time • End Time • Bandwidth Throttle: Can be “Unlimited” or “Limted to [...] KB/Sec”.
Add	Click to add a new detail. • Opens the "New / Edit Bandwidth Throttle Schedule Detail" screen.
Modify	Click to edit the selected detail. • Opens the "New / Edit Bandwidth Throttle Schedule Detail" screen.
Remove	Removes the highlighted detail from the Exceptions List.
Select Group	You must highlight a Detail in the Exceptions List for this button to work. • Click to highlight any other details (from other days) that share this Detail’s Start Time, End Time and Bandwidth Throttle settings. This allows you to modify an entire group at the same time.

NOTE: When connected to a Grid DS-Client, the bandwidth throttle settings are enforced at node-level. This means the actual bandwidth usage will be the bandwidth throttle value multiplied by the number of nodes running backups (or restores) simultaneously. (For example: a throttle of 64 KB/sec on a 3-node Grid DS-Client would be limited to 192 KB/sec.)
