Modifying transfer settings

You can modify the settings to manage the data transfer processes for a protected machine. The transfer
settings described in this section are agent-level settings. To affect transfer at the core level, see
Modifying The Transfer Queue
CAUTION: Changing transfer setting could have dramatic effects on your environment. Before
modifying transfer settings values, refer to the Transfer Performance Tuning Guide in the Dell
AppAssure knowledge base https://support.software.dell.com/appassure/kb.
There are three types of transfers:
Snapshots The transfer that backs up the data on your protected machine.
VM Export A type of transfer that creates a virtual machine with all of the backup information
and parameters as specified by the schedule defined for protecting the machine.
Rollback A process that restores backup information on a protected machine.
Data transfer involves the transmission of a volume of data along a network from Agent machines to the
Core. In the case of replication, transfer also occurs from the originating or source Core to the target
Core.
Data transfer can be optimized for your system through certain performance option settings. These
settings control data bandwidth usage during the process of backing up agent machines, performing VM
export, or performing a rollback. Some factors that affect data transfer performance are:
• Number of concurrent agent data transfers
• Number of concurrent data streams
