Rate Limit for Hybrid Backup not working

Post by DHOMD »

TS-853A
4.3.3.0238 (latest)
Hybrid Backup - 2.1.170630 (latest)

I am backing up to Amazon Glacial and I need to rate limit the backup during working hours.
My maximum upload is 1.8 MBps. I need to rate limit at 1.4 MBps to prevent bottlenecking.

When I go to profile and apply a rate limit. Whole numbers work fine. I.e. 1000 KBps or 1 MBps.
BUT decimal points do not. Any decimal results in no limit. i.e 1.4 MBps results in no rate limit.

The maximum KBps entry is 1000. So I cannot use 1400 KBps to fine tune the limit.

Any thoughts?

Is it really 1.8 MByte/sec? Did you measure it to be exactly that? If not where does that number come from?

I must ask as I've never seen any ISP specifying the bandwidth in Bytes per second, they always use bits per second.
RAID have never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups on a different system (preferably placed at another site), you will eventually lose data!

A non-RAID configuration (including RAID 0, which isn't really RAID) with a backup on a separate media protects your data far better than any RAID-volume without backup.

All data storage consists of both the primary storage and the backups. It's your money and your data, spend the storage budget wisely or pay with your data!

@P3R Hybrid records bandwidth by default in bytes not bits. So I am just using their default bandwidth terminology.

Since I upload about 6 TB a month, I get a great rolling average, 1.84 MBps (15 mbps if you prefer) is essentially the practical upload cap of my ISP.

I sent in an email to that find a bug competition... hopefully it gets resolved.

Yes, and hopefully you win the prize as well! :)
