Network Traffic Rule won't work

[RH_BK]

Hello Folks,

following situation here:

Site A:
Veeam B&R Server
Backup-Repository A
IP Subnet: 10.73.69.x

Site B:
Backup-Repository B
IP Subnet: 192.168.101.x

Both sites are directly connected by a 100 Mbit/s connection (no WAN).
I created a Network Traffic Rule with the following options:

Source IP Range:
10.73.69.1-10.73.69.255

Target IP Range:
192.168.101.1-192.168.101.255

Throttle network traffic to:
5 MB/s

Active from 6 a.m to 6 p.m.

My Backup Copy Job still utilize the full ~13 MB/s. Why is my Rule ignored by the Backup Copy Job?

Best Regards

Network traffic rules work only between pair of Data Movers.

I'm wondering what kind of repositories you have. Isn't the second one a network share or dedupe appliance by any chance? Such repositories cannot host Veeam Data Movers and requires a gateway server for that. If so, what is specified as gateway for this repository? Backup server?

Thanks!

Yes, it is a (QNAP) NAS with a network share. So the best option would be a Proxy for this site to apply the network traffic rules?
The Gateway for the repository is the Firewall on site A

In this case the best option will be to have a gateway server a site B.
