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. + + encrypted-file-related callback functions. @@ -1326,4 +1348,3 @@ Item h10: Clustered file-daemons before voting on this project.
