How can i restrict / limit the traffic rate between Backup Exec CPS replicating servers
Hello,
We have Veritas Backup Exec Continuous protection service installed on our live site and our DR site.
Our live site replicates our data stores using CPS. How can I restrict the traffic rate of replication as it thrashes our VPN.
We do not have the ability to restrict traffic flow in our VPN concentrator. Can I set the maximum data rate in Veritas Backup Exec, or does anyone know of an application that could be installed on the same box as Veritas Backup Exec to restrict traffic only to a particular IP?

You could try allowing ports 1804, 20481, 20483, 20485, 8181 and 8443 only to the IP you want the CPS information replicated to. These are the ports used by CPS. If you wanted to restrict it to a certain time and are using Cisco routers or firewalls, you could create a time based access list also on that router or firewall.
