Limiting Network Bandwidth at the Client or MediaAgent Level

You can limit the bandwidth available collectively to outgoing subclient and auxiliary copy streams coming from a client (for backup) or MediaAgent (for auxiliary copy), by adding the CollectStreamStats and the ComputerThroughputMBPH additional settings. The CollectStreamStats additional setting allows stream statistics to be collected and logged.

Add these two additional settings to the client to control backup bandwidth, and to the MediaAgent to control auxiliary copy bandwidth.

For examples of reader stream scenarios, see Reader Streams Scenarios.

Procedure

• To the client computer, add the additional settings as shown in the following table.
