network_speed

--network_speed=<speed>{kb|p}

The speed of transferring the data being backed up through network.

This parameter is used if the backup destination (the --loc parameter value) is a location on the network, i.e., a network share, a managed vault, an FTP/SFTP server, or Acronis Online Backup Storage. For other location types, this parameter is ignored.

The parameter defines the amount of the network connection bandwidth allocated for transferring the backup data. If the parameter is not specified, the software uses all the network bandwidth it can get when transferring the backup data. You can reserve a part of the network bandwidth for other network activities.

<speed> should be a positive number. If the measurement unit is kb, the speed is measured in kilobytes per second. If the measurement unit is p or is not specified, the speed is measured in the percentage of the estimated maximum speed of the network connection. For the online storage, only the kb measurement unit is effective.

Examples:

--network_speed=500kb – the data transferring speed will be 500 kilobytes per second
--network_speed=50p or --network_speed=50 – the data transferring speed will be 50% of the estimated maximum speed.
