Bandwidth Throttle lets you set the internet bandwidth to be used by the IDrive application for backups. By default, the bandwidth throttle value is set at 100%. 

You can set Auto-Pause option during backup operations to enable optimum desktop experience with the following options: 

  • PC in use: This option lets you set the bandwidth to be used by IDrive for backups, when it is in use. By default, it is set to 25%. This allows other applications to run without hindrance.
  • PC not in use: This option lets you set the bandwidth to be used by IDrive for backups when it is not in use. By default, it is set to 100%.

To enable Auto-Pause and change the bandwidth settings,

  1. In the Settings screen, navigate to Throttle.
  2. Enable Auto-Pause to set the PC in use and PC not in use options. 
  3. Use the sliders to set the bandwidth to be used, and click Save Settings.
