Bandwidth used by the backups can be throttled for both remote and local backups.
The week is divided up into Off Hours and Business Hours. By default business hours are between 7am and
7pm Monday through Friday. You can specify different bandwidth limits for Off Hours and Business Hours,
ensuring that your backups won't affect your business operations if run during the day, while still
maximizing performance when possible.
Tip: You can change these settings while the backup is running. Changes will take effect immediately. You
do not need to restart the backup for the changes to take effect.
· Bandwidth Usage:
· Usage Mode During Off Hours:
For convenience, three bandwidth rates are defined: High, Medium, and Low. You can choose to use one of these modes or set this to Max, which indicates that bandwidth should not be throttled.
You can customize the actual rates for the High, Medium, and Low modes using the other settings below.

· Usage Mode During Business Hours:
Similar to the previous setting, except that it determines bandwidth throttling during business hours.

· High Bandwidth Usage (Kbits/sec):
The maximum bandwidth to use for the High mode. 1 Megabit/sec is about 1000 Kbit/sec. A T1 provides about 1400 Kbit/sec. Cable modems usually provide around 700 to 2000 Kbit/sec. DSLs typically provide between 250 Kbit and 2000 Kbit/sec. Fiber connections can provide up to 20,000 Kbit/sec.

· Low Bandwidth Usage (Kbits/sec):

The maximum bandwidth to use for the Low mode.
· Local Server Bandwidth Multiplier:
When local server backups are running, the same bandwidth throttling settings are used as for remote backups above, except that the rate for the active mode is also multiplied by this number. If this is equal to -1.0 then it disables bandwidth throttling for this backup destination.

· Local Disk Bandwidth Multiplier:
Similar to the previous setting, except that it affects local disk backups instead of local server backups.

· Local Disk Max Disk Bandwidth (KB/sec):
Local disk backups perform additional copying of data during the incremental backups of large files. This setting regulates the rate of all forms of data copying during the local disk backup operation. If your local disk backups are failing with temporary file system errors, the USB disk or network volume is temporarily dropping out, or other similar errors, try setting this to 5000. If problems persist, contact technical support.
