The application by default uses maximum bandwidth available. This can affect the performance of other Internet applications when you have large scheduled backup jobs that are scheduled during your working hours. The Bandwidth Throttle feature helps optimize the bandwidth consumption so that your backups can take place uninterrupted and without hindrance to other applications. You can set separate bandwidths for the backups when the system is in use and when it is not.
 
To set the bandwidth throttle, please do the following:

1. Start the backup software on your system
2. Login
3. Go to Tools->Preferences
4. Set the Bandwidth throttle settings
5. Click on Save

Bandwidth Throttle (when system is not in use): This option allows you to set the bandwidth used by your system for backups when it is not in use. By default, it is set to 100%.

Note: The percentage set for Bandwidth Throttle is applicable for both scheduled and interactive backups.

Bandwidth Throttle (when system is in use): This option lets you set the bandwidth to be used by your system for backups, when it is in use. This allows other applications to run without hindrance. By default, it is set to 25%.
Select the 'Auto-Pause' option from the check box to use this option.

Auto-Pause option: The Auto Pause option makes intelligent guesses on pausing and resuming backup to enable optimum desktop appearances during user activity.
