CloudBerry S3 Backup is a powerful Windows program that automate backup and restore processes to Amazon S3 cloud storage.
In this release we are introducing two important enhancements when it comes to Bandwidth Throttling configuration. The first one is an ability to apply bandwidth settings online to the currently running backup plans and the second one is different bandwidth configuration for Local and Cloud bandwidth.
Online Bandwidth update
In the previous releases Bandwidth Throttling updates would only apply after you restart the backup plane. As always we are trying to make what works best for our customers and in the newer release we are introducing a feature that allows you to update the Bandwidth Throttling settings online while Backup Plan is running. With this feature you can decrease the available bandwidth when you need to use the network for other tasks and return it back to the previous level when you are done. For instance you may want the backup to consume all available bandwidth during the off hours and on the weekends while consume only 10% of available bandwidth during the working hours.
To update the Bandwidth configuration go to Tools | Options , Bandwidth tab. The changes will come into effect immediately.
Local/ Cloud Bandwidth
In the previous release you had a single bandwidth setting that would apply to all backup plans in regardless whether they are local or cloud. But when you do a local backup it makes a lot of sense to use all available bandwidth. On the other hand when you do the cloud backup you might want to use your internet connection for other tasks and limit the bandwidth.
We have addressed this limitation in the newer release and split the bandwidth configuration for local and cloud backup. We have added a separate tab called Bandwidth to the Options dialog for this purpose.
As always we would be happy to hear your feedback and you are welcome to post a comment.
