Bandwidth properties specify limits for the network bandwidth that one or more NetBackup clients of the selected server use. The actual limiting occurs on the client side of the backup connection. By default, the bandwidth is not limited.
The Bandwidth properties apply to currently selected master servers.
The bandwidth limits only restrict bandwidth during backups.
Consider the following items about bandwidth limits:
NetBackup does not currently support bandwidth limits on NetBackup for Microsoft SQL-Server clients
NetBackup does not currently support bandwidth limits on the following clients:
Bandwidth limits have no effect on a local backup (where the server is also a client and data does not go over the network).
Bandwidth limits restrict maximum network usage and do not imply required bandwidth. For example, if you set the bandwidth limit for a client to 500 kilobytes per second, the client can use up to that limit. It does not mean, however, that the client requires 500 kilobytes per second.
You cannot use bandwidth limits to distribute the backup workload of active backups by having NetBackup pick the most available network segment. NetBackup does not pick the next client to run based on any configured bandwidth limits.
