7. Interfaces

This window defines the network interfaces available.

Note that these sections define network interface characteristics, not the actual interface that will be used. Nor do they impose limits on the bandwidth that will actually be taken up by Amanda. Amanda computes the bandwidth each file system backup will take based on the estimated size and time, then compares that plus any other running backups with the limit as another of the criteria when deciding whether to start the backup. Once a backup starts, it is free to use as much of the network as it can.

Interfaces are referenced from the Disk list configurations.
