The default setting for the "netusage" parameter is 600 kbps. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a 100 Mbps ethernet interface is 10 000 kbps (roughly)
Also, the defaut settings for the 10Mbps ethernet is 400 kbps (Ou of a possible total of approx 1000 kbps) Does this mean that with these defaults, amanda can not even in parallel absorb TWO hosts (2 x 400 kpbs) sending their backups at the same time ? I would tend to think that a reasonable setting for doing backups at night time (very low servers usage) N servers with all servers having AT LEAST 100 Mbps ethernet interfaces would be: netusage = 7000 (70% of all bandwidth) And for each of the interfaces, 7000 / N servers ? Am I right ?
