    Buffer tuning and network throttle are two different things. Network throttle is describes in these Tech notes:

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO13915

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH153326

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH30467

    But in general normal backup should not affect system performance - if it does there is something wrong that need to be fixed.

    Buffer tuning is used to improve general peformance - it is not a tool to slow down backups.

    I wrote a small blog about buffer tuning here: http://www.mass.dk/netbackup/guides/49-netbackup-buffer-tuning.html
