[BackupPC-users] limit bandwith

[Holm Kapschitzki]

It is possible to limit bandwith on backuppc? I use tar backup and from
server to server i want to limit it to 2 mbit perhaps.

rsync(d) has --bwlimit=KBPS, dunno about tar, I think it's ssh that
would need to do the limits here.

You could install Trickle on the client and add it to the BackupPC command.

There's also netbrake, http://www.hping.org/netbrake/

(On principle, I'd use either on the _server_, not on the client, though)
