Section Additional

1. You can reduce the network traffic caused by the job by increasing the sleep between packets and reducing the maximum size of data packets. !!! note Higher values for the sleep and lower values for the maximum packet size will result in longer times for job execution.

This will ensure that only new and edited files are upload for the backup; files without changes will be taken over from the previous backup. This will further reduce network traffic.
