Hi,
i have about 50 clients to backup and needs some bwlimit for the
Clients.
Description:
SD connected to 1Gbit behind firewall (own subnet)
SD is able to write about 900Mbit.
FDs are connected to 100Mbit.
FDs are able to send with more than 100Mbit. (about 500 Mbit total)

Currently i run in 2 Problems

1. If a FD sends data to the SD it will saturate his own link, so wont
   be able to do other things on the network, and is also not usable
   accesible for other Users on the network.

2. If i backup multiple FDs at the same time the link to the SD gets
   saturated, and also the network is unusable on the subnet where the
   SD lives.

Solutions:
2. can be solved by not backing up too much clients simultan

1. can be solved if i put for every client a setting on the firewall
FD-net > SD-net dest baculaports bwlimit xxxKb

Problems:
2. i would like to backup at much at possible clients simultan to make
   the backuptime very short
1. will putt a ot of load onto the firewall and administrative work on
my shoulders.
( I ve also thinked about doing trafficshaping on the SD per client with
some bridgingtools etc...)

So any suggestions from your side?

Best would be to have

Director {
  Name = mydirector
  Password = "secret"
  BWLimit = 50M
}
Or such a setting on the director in clients-config part.

Bets Regards and thanks for any hints in advance

Daniel
