Wan Acceleration and Traffic Rules

[NorthGuard]

I had turned off Wan Acceleration a couple of years ago because the Veeam traffic rules didn't apply at that time. Without the traffic rules, any offsite copy would destroy bandwidth.

I am now seeing an issue at a couple of clients that have large amounts of backup data that are taking an exceptionally long time to copy offsite. I am re-evaluating the use of acceleration, but am not sure if traffic rules now apply to it?

If they don't how do you all manage bandwidth when the offsite process spills into work hours?

Hello,

The traffic throttling rules are applicable for all WAN accelerator usage scenarios, you can refer to this page for more details. I'd suggest to take a look at job session statistics to find out where is the "bottleneck", after that we'll be able to decide on further troubleshooting steps.

Thanks!
