Stepping back, I had a problem with not having enough local space to create the backup itself. I could increase my available throughput, but that would merely mean that the network transfer would complete faster, but still max the total capacity of the connection while doing it.) (Unfortunately, I can't add an interface to dedicate to backups. This could be on the server or client side that is, I'd be happy to do this on either the client that initiates the connection or the server that receives the connection. Is it possible to limit a process's maximum allowed throughput to a network interface? I would like to limit the SSH-based file transfer to only half of my available bandwidth. ![]() I am concerned that visitors to the various sites that the server hosts will experience degraded performance while the backup is transferring across the network. I have a CentOS 5.7 server that will be backing up its files nightly.
