Hi,
I have this issue whereby I see very high 'overruns' on the interface of a switchport.
The issue seems to happens only when the weekly backup is done. The impact of this is
that the backup takes way too long to run eventhough there is no bottleneck on
the bandwidth utilization on the switch port interface.

What are my options here so that the backup is done in a timely manner. I was thinking flow control
would help here since its the burst traffic is an issue and the pause frame would help slow down the traffic
from the server.
Cheers,
