Add ability to restrict server IO/CPU resource usage
Completed
In the old JetBackup version 4, there was the ability to restrict CPU and IO disk usage by using "renice" and "ionice" and "assign to cloudlinux LVE" (if using cloudlinux).
I would like these features added back to JetBackup 5, so that we can restrict disk and cpu resource usage during backups.
Thanks.
I like this idea
Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your continued patience!
We are excited to announce the release of JetBackup v5.2.0 on the EDGE Tier! This release includes the new Resource Settings Section. In this section, you may set CPU Usage limits and IO Read/Write Limits using cgroups, a Linux kernel feature that limits, accounts for, isolates the resource usage of a collection of processes (jetbackupd).
Please note that 100% is 1 core and each setting will be `unlimited` by default.
If you have any questions regarding this feature, please reach out to our support team at support@jetapps.com or open a post on our forums at https://forum.jetbackup.com/.
Thank you,

Hi JetBackup Team,
such resource limitation is very important. Version 5 sometimes uses up to 60% of our servers during the day, which partially affected the loading times of our customer pages.Due to the limitation in version 4, such a thing could not happen. There was never any performance impact from the backup.That was one of the main reasons why we use JetBackup, because the cPanel original backup did not support any performance limitation at the time.

We need this too because JetBackup5 used 30 CPUs out of 32 CPUs on one of our servers. The only way I can avoid this - before it is fixed - is by reducing the amount of concurrent backup jobs. It could be much better with a CPU limit at 80% or what ever is optimal for that server :-)

It was a step in the right direction, but it was not precisely what I as asking for as we are still having both overloads and inefficient use of the CPUs in version 5.2 Edge.
I was asking for a limit with a percentage of the total server load and not a limit of CPUs.
Let me give you an example.
This (early) morning the server overloaded for a few minutes as JB5 was set to use 10 dedicated CPUs out of 32 dedicated CPUs, but another software on the server did some loading also so they together used up 32 CPUs.
And in other situations, JB5 can easily take 25 CPUs because the server is idle as most users are in their beds and there is no other software running on the server that is doing any real loading.
So, what I was asking for going back in this thread was an option to define that JB5 had to stay below for example 80% of the total server load.
This will make better use of the CPUs and there is no risk of overloading. And this is done without having to change the limit for the concurrent tasks.
Thank you :-)
