Throttling

[robg]

Does a job only look at the throttle setting when it begins? This would appear to be the case.. I have a large replication 1TB+ that could take a week to complete, it is throttled during business hours however it still says throttling at the bottleneck off-hours..

Hi Rob, should not be the case, as throttling rules are applied immediately when you change or adjust them. Can you please tell me what version/build number of Veeam B&R you're currently using?

[robg]

7.0.0.690

[Vitaliy S.]

Can you please update your installation to the most recent patch, as there were multiple fixes for throttling rules engine?

[robg]

I just patched, didn't seem to resolve..

[Gostev]

Please open a support case to make sure the patch has been installed properly (e.g. all proxies and repositories where upgraded). Thanks!

[robg]

Well, it did say that those components were patched successfully as part of the install, but I'll see about the case.

[Gostev]

Sounds good. It just looks like an issue that has been resolved in one of the patches.

[robg]

Hello, I contacted support, and was informed that this is designed behavior..

That's too bad, I am hopeful that it can be improved upon in a future version.

Rob, what is your support case number, please?

Probably engineer just missed the fact that this specifically was addressed in the patch Vitaliy has referred to above:

• Network throttling rule does not apply if some job is already running at the time when the throttling period starts for the given rule.

I recommend escalating the case and review job debug logs, since this should work as you expect (unless there is another issue we're unaware of).

There was a known issue that has been resolved in one of our patches for Throttling Rules only being checked at the start of the job. I believe patch 2 or 3 resolved this behavior.
