Throttle Bandwidth After Backup Has Started?

[JonMikelV]

@kbyrd

Does Duplicati (or can Duplicati be made to) mark traffic it generates with any sort of QoS or similar bits?

Not that I’m aware of, but I certain could be wrong on that. Perhaps B2 uses a specific port that you could use (if your router supports it).

Another option is to use virtual router interfaces and limit those interfaces, though then you’d need to tell Duplciati to use a specific interface (or IP range on that interface).

You might also want to reach out to @drwtsn32 to see how he did it…

Remember the Throttle settings

Alternatively perhaps consider QoS. I tag all backup traffic with a certain QoS value. Then my router puts that traffic in a lower priority bucket. It can consume all my upload traffic if available, but as soon as I do something else it takes priority over the backup traffic.
