Upload speed limit for backup to PBS

[AntInf]

Good morning
I wanted to know if there is a way to configure a bandwidth limit to be used to perform backups to a Proxmox Backup server storage. I mean only for this storage and not for the other backups that perform activities on other internal storage, while the pbs is in the cloud. With little internet bandwidth available, everything slows down when the backup is started. I wanted to set a maximum bandwidth limit for this backup on pbs. Thank you

you can set a limit on the PBS side (for specific source networks).

If you don't mind limiting all backup jobs, independent of their target, you can setup the bwlimit option in /etc/vzdump.conf, otherwise check out the already mentioned traffic control from the the PBS side, see:
https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/network-management.html#traffic-control

but by modifying the /etc/vzdump.conf file with the relative bwlimit parameter, this is valid for all backups and therefore also for those not on PBS?

 

[t.lamprecht]

yes, that's why I said

If you don't mind limiting all backup jobs

from your initial post this tipp is mostly useful for others stumbling uppon this thread though. Albeit, you can also set the bwlimit per vzdump call, the GUI just cannot do that for peridioc jobs, but you could call vzdump just manually.

Anyhow, I'd recommend going for the PBS traffic control rout for now.

Ok - Thanks
