Hi all:

I have a question that I know it might not have question because I could not find nothing about how to limit the bandwidth that amanda uses while is backing up a file system.

I have this configuration to try to limit the bandwidth in my disklist file:

server1.nmcourts.com data /data {
comment "server1 data"
auth "bsdtcp"
index yes
record no
program "GNUTAR"
compress server best
exclude "./lost+found"

} 1 eth0

and my amanda.conf file contains the definition of eth0 in this way:

define interface eth0 {
comment "Interface limited to 4 Gb"
use 4096 kbps
}

The problem with this is that this configuration is not working, I mean, amanda is reading fine this configuration.

I've also tried with other configuration, but amanda does not read the amanda.conf file, so obviously is not a correct configuration, but anyway I am posting just as reference:

server1.nmcourts.com /data /data {
comment "server1 data"
auth "bsdtcp"
index yes
record no
program "GNUTAR"
compress server best
exclude "./lost+found"
netusage 4096 Kbps
} 1


Any suggestion to limit the bandwidth ?
