Bandwidth Throttling Regular Client and VMware Image Backups

Bandwidth throttling a regular windows/nix client simply takes creating a file called avtar.cmd and placing it in the var folder where you installed the avamar client.

Edit the the file and add the following line:
--net-throttle=0.5
(where the 0.5 = how many mbps you are allowing the client)


Since there is no client installed on VMware image backups you can do it dataset wide. Edit the dataset, click the options tab, select the correct plugin (Windows/VMware Image), click more, and enter [avtar]throttle in the attribute field and the mbps value you'd like in the attribute value field. Then press the + button and hit okay.
