Backup Repository Load Control

[redhorse]

Hello,

we've got a veeam setup where we backup on the remote site to a local storage and transfer these backups to a backup copy repository on the main site. To avoid bandwith issues, we've set a limit in the load control section with two maximum concurrent tasks and maximum bandwith of 1 MB/s which is working very well and it fits our backup size.

We've been backing up these backup copys to tape on the main site for some time and now, after we upgraded Veeam to the latest version, we've descoverd some strange issues. After analyzing all the issues and error message and after trying several configurations I noticed that the problem seems to be related to the load control settings within the backup copy repository. Is it possible that the tape backup job also uses those limitations? Has the behaviour been changed between Update 3 and 4 of Veeam? Is there a way to set the limitations only to the backup copy process (which uses WAN) and not for the tape backup (wich is on the same site)?

Hello,
I can answer the second part of your question: you can limit the network bandwidth in the network traffic rules settings for the backup copy job.


Best regards,
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

great, that's all I need and it solves my current issue.

redhorse,

Logic was not changed. To make sure the connection is not throttled I'd also recommend you to check Traffic Throttling Rules in the tape server traffic settings. Cheers!
