By default, Veeam Backup & Replication encrypts data traffic going to and from the cloud repository. Additionally, tenants can encrypt backups created with backup jobs, backup copy and replication jobs. To do this, tenants must enable the data encryption option in the job properties.
The SP can select to throttle traffic going to and from the cloud repository. Data throttling rules are specified in the same manner as for regular backup infrastructure components.
By default, the Veeam backup server shares available bandwidth equally between all tenants who work with cloud backup and replication resources simultaneously. The bandwidth available to one tenant is equally split between all tasks performed by this tenant.
For example, the cloud repository is used by two tenants simultaneously:
- Tenant 1 runs 2 tasks, backup and restore.
- Tenant 2 runs 1 task.
In this situation, Tenant 1 will get 50% of bandwidth and this bandwidth will be equally split between 2 tasks: 25% of the initial bandwidth per task. The task performed by Tenant 2 will get 50% of the initial bandwidth.
To adjust network bandwidth consumption individually for every tenant, the SP can specify the bandwidth limit when assigning cloud backup and replication resources to a tenant. In this case, tenant's backup and replication jobs will split the specified bandwidth regardless bandwidth consumption by other tenants.
