Item 1: Implementation of running Job speed limit.
Origin: Alex F, alexxzell at yahoo dot com
Date: 29 January 2009
What: I noticed the need for an integrated bandwidth limiter for running jobs.
It would be very useful just to specify another field in bacula-dir.conf, like
speed = how much speed you wish for that specific job to run at
Why: Because of a couple of reasons.
First, it's very hard to implement a traffic shaping utility and also make
it reliable.
Second, it is very uncomfortable to have to implement these apps to, let's
say 50 clients (including desktops, servers). This would also be unreliable
because you have to make sure that the apps are properly working when needed;
users could also disable them (accidentally or not).
It would be very useful to provide Bacula this ability. All information
would be centralized, you would not have to go to 50 different clients in 10
different locations for configuration; eliminating 3rd party additions help in
establishing efficiency.
Would also avoid bandwidth congestion, especially where there is little
available.
Notes: Bacula developers have proven through this product that they have
made an outstanding job building an extremely reliable software. I think this
"upgrade" would make Bacula even better.
