How to reduce network traffic in CAS

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
To accommodate a low-bandwidth network connection or to reduce network traffic, you can do the following:
  • Reduce the frequency of job status updates that are sent from the managed Backup Exec servers to the central administration server.
  • Prevent the central administration server from monitoring the jobs that are created on the local managed Backup Exec servers.
  • Reduce the frequency that job logs and job histories are sent from the managed Backup Exec servers to the central administration server.
  • Increase the amount of time that Backup Exec waits before changing the Backup Exec server's status if the Backup Exec server becomes unresponsive.
  • Keep the catalogs on the managed Backup Exec server (distributed). If there is a persistent network connection between the central administration server and the managed Backup Exec server, then you can browse the catalog and perform restore operations from both servers, regardless of the catalog location.
