Throttle backup activity - Managed by Agent only (?)

[Cheapers]

Hi, one of our MS Failover Clusters has a CPU activity of 100% during backups (good news: the backup speed is really great!). To be sure we would like to use an option like "Throttle backup activity when system is busy" (or anything similar). We don't see a System Tray icon on the node however. Running "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Endpoint Backup\Veeam.EndPoint.Tray.exe" doesn't help. Is this because the backup job has selected the option: "Managed by backup server"? Is it possible to throttle the backup activity when the system is busy for a cluster node? Thanks!

In managed mode, there are some throttling possibilities.
But not for CPU if I read it correctly:

Hi,

For managed agents you can change the throttling option in the protection group settings. It changes the backup process priority in the operating system, so native Windows resource throttling for CPU/RAM will give a priority to other apps (say, SQL has a higher priority for sure). Additionally, if you have multiple disks you can limit the parallel processing by adjusting the task slots on the repository (1 disk = 1 task slot). Hope that helps!
