If you're taking offsite backups to one of the supported Cloud Backups Locations, you can choose to decrease the number of concurrent threads opened during offsite copies. This can be useful for setups with limited bandwidth or larger setups hosting a large number of VMs.

Important notes before you start...

• Ensure that you're running 9.0.72 or higher
• Ensure that there are no ongoing operations on VM Backup 

Implementing the override

1. Stop the VM Backup services via Powershell as Admin and run: stop-service *hornet*
   
   
2. Browse to C:\ProgramData\Hornetsecurity\VMBackup\ and create a folder named "Options"
   
   
3. Create a text file using Notepad and enter the following syntax: {"S3DegreeOfParallelism":8}
   
   The default amount of threads is 16 by default. Should you wish to modify the number of threads, simply change the value to 12, 8, 4, etc... 
   
   Note: Should the TubeOptions file be already present, simply open the TubeOptions file via Notepad and add the syntax from step 3 by applying a comma (,), between the syntax, and save the changes.
   
   
4. Save the file named TubeOptions.altj
   The result should be as follows: C:\ProgramData\Hornetsecurity\VMBackup\Options\TubeOptions.altj
   
   
5. If running a Hyper-V Environment, repeat these steps on any nodes/hosts linked to the installation
   
   
6. Start the VM Backup services via Powershell as Admin and run: start-service *hornet*
