 current version of Bacula that is under development. This version will be

+\section{Job Bandwidth Limitation}
+
+A new directive may be added to FileDaemon or Director resources within the
+File Daemon configuration to allow users to limit the bandwidth used by a
+Job on a Client. It can be set for all Jobs globally or per Directors.
+
+For example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+FileDaemon {
+  Name = localhost-fd
+  Working Directory = /some/path
+  Pid Directory = /some/path
+  ...
+  Maximum Bandwidth = 5MB/s
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The above example would cause any jobs running with the FileDaemon to not
+exceed 5MB/s of throughput when sending data to the Storage Daemon.
+
+You can specify the speed parameter in k/s, kb/s, m/s, mb/s.

+Enterprise Edition and Community Edition.
