Bandwidth Settings
Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path. In MSP360 (CloudBerry) Backup for Windows, the bandwidth is used as follows: once a backup plan is running and backup service is accessed, the bandwidth is divided equally between all running plans. The sharing approach takes into account the location of plan execution: in local storage or cloud. Once recalculation is done, a bandwidth value is returned to a running plan, and all other plans receive a new bandwidth value. Once a plan terminates or failed, information is sent to a backup service, so new bandwidth sharing values will be recalculated and will be sent to all currently running plans.
Thus, if the bandwidth is, for example, 500 kB/s and 5 backup plans are running, the bandwidth is divided as follows: 100 kB/s for each plan. Once one backup plan terminates, the bandwidth will be divided between 4 plans and the bandwidth per plan will be 125 kB/s
It is not recommended to limit bandwidth lower than 250 kB/s since connection issues are likely to occur
Configure Bandwidth Settings
- Click Tools.
- In the horizontal bar, click Options.
- In the Options window, switch to the Bandwidth tab.
- Specify bandwidth settings.
You can select whether MSP360 (CloudBerry) Backup will use as much bandwidth as required or specify a bandwidth limit. You can specify different bandwidth settings for local and cloud storages.
Custom Schedule for Using Bandwidth Settings
- In the Bandwidth tab, select Enable specific schedule check box.
- Click Add or Edit, then specify schedule settings in the Schedule Options window.
- Once you are finished with schedule settings, click OK.
