Backup copy network throtling

[matteu]

Hello,

I would like to enable throtling for my backup copy job from LHR to S3 compatible object.
My gateway is my Veeam server.

What should be my source and my destination for this scenario ?

LHR + Gw (Veeam server) are on site 1
S3 compatible is on Site 2

I tried to configure my gateway network as source and S3 compatible object network as destination but it doesn't work. The jobs says network throttling is enable but it doesn't "apply" it because I set 450Mb maximum and the average is more arround 500+ Mb.

Thanks for your help

There is a default "Internet" rule, it will most likely be enough; however, there is nothing wrong with creating a more specific rule.
I did notice at times the traffic will peak slightly above the allocated bandwidth and then go down, I believe this is as new connections are starting and then being throttled.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.
Why are we talking about Internet rule ? It's for an S3 on my second site with VPN connection between both. I just want to throttle the traffic between site 1 + site 2 and not others one.

Can you confirm me I need to throttle between gateway and destination network only ?

Thanks

I just check now and unfortunately I configured 450Mb/s and it uses 500. This doesn't work as I would like, I just would like to know if it's missconfiguration or not.

When I read the documentation, I think throtling can't work because I have all my component on site 1 (including my gateway) except repository on site2. Site 2 contains ONLY my S3 netapp.

Can you confirm me if I'm wrong or not please ?
