When performing scheduled guest backups of virtual machines on the same ESX Server, add throttling parameters to the Avamar dataset.

1. In Avamar Administrator, select Tools > Manage Datasets.
   The Manage All Datasets window is displayed.
2. Select a dataset from the list and click Edit.
   TheEdit Dataset dialog box appears.
3. Click the Options tab, and then click Show Advanced Options.
4. If the client supports Network usage throttle, type a nonzero value in the Network usage throttle (Mbps) field.
   Begin with a low value such as 20. Then monitor the next backup session to verify that this has resolved any ESX Server CPU usage issues.
5. Click OK.
