Bandwidth Throttling

BDRSuite is designed to transfer data at the maximum available speeds for the purposes of completing backup, replication, and recovery jobs as quickly as possible.

If you run data protection jobs during business hours, your LAN or WAN networks may become overloaded. This can impact application performance and degrade user experience (think of e-mails taking too long to be sent, excessive load times for websites, etc.).

There are several ways to achieve balanced network usage without sacrificing data protection strategies, but one of the more effective and simple solutions you could implement right away is bandwidth throttling. You can set bandwidth restrictions for your data protection jobs with BDRSuite’s Bandwidth Throttling features to make sure they don’t consume more bandwidth than you can afford.

How Does Bandwidth Throttling Work?

Bandwidth Throttling enables you to define global rules that limit the data transfer rates of your backup processes. Such rules can apply globally to all backup jobs. For example, you can set a global rule that prevents backup jobs from using more than 50 MB/s during business hours, but leave the bandwidth unrestricted on weekends.

The BDRSuite Bandwidth Throttling feature is a powerful tool for optimizing backup operations and controlling network traffic.
