Cap Mbps

The AzCopy v.10 transfer speed cap in Mbps.

When a value is set, it is passed to the AzCopy v10 copy command as the --cap-mbps option, limiting the bandwidth the transfer may use. When left blank, no cap is applied. Legacy AzCopy versions do not use it.

When to Change This Setting

Set a cap when the file uploads share a network link with other workloads and should not saturate it. Leave it blank to let AzCopy use the available bandwidth.

AzCopyVersionThe cap only applies to AzCopy v10
