Use the Schedule tab to limit the available upload/prefetch bandwidth on a gateway. This is useful in locations where Internet upload/download speed is limited and prevents a gateway's uploads/downloads from interfering with the bandwidth needs of other local devices during business hours.



Upload/Prefetch Window and Bandwidth

Enable the slider to apply the upload/prefetch schedule to the device.


Note that the limited must also be enabled at the share level.  Please see the Upload and Prefetch sections in the following article:


Manage Share - Advanced


Also note that this is not the same schedule used for managing replicate share sync times. Replicate share sync schedule information can be found here:


Manage Share - Schedule

  • Click on an hour (bottom of the schedule matrix) to fill in the selected hour for all days with the selected rate.
