Re: [Bacula-users] Maximum Bandwidth Per Job Question

[Randy K. <rk...@si...>]

My original question, is anyone using Max Bandwidth successfully and
what are YOUR optimal settings?
This is in the context of having multiple KVM VMs backing up from a
node. If you are not using Max Bandwidth
then this question is not for you. Thanks!

As for looking into ethtool, subtracting the amount bandwidth average
used from capacity and dividing that by the amount
of backup processes minus a percentage for overhead, I can do that, and
understand that well. This is not really my question.
If anyone cares to share, I thank you in advance.
