Re: [Bacula-users] Is there any way of throttling a backup?

I've used the "trickle" command on FreeBSD successfully. It's a "user space bandwidth shaper". I was trying to tweak the startup script to use trickle by default. Search the archive of this list for May '08 for "trickle".

It works on Linux too. See http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle.

That said, this would be a great feature to add to a future version of bacula, especially (at the risk of repeating myself incessantly) in combination with cross-sd migration.

This seems like a silly question, but is there any way of throttling a backup? normally I run backups at night, but occasionally I need to do one during the day and it's causing us network problems. I'd like if possible to throttle bacula's network traffic.

thanks
