We have quite some users, that work at least a few days per week in their home office, connected to the corporate LAN using a VPN tunnel.
so the local Veeam Agent can connect to the VBR server, and therefore is doing regular Veeam backups over the VPN connection, cutting down the bandwith that much, that the users cannot work anymore in their home office.
Two approaches:
1.) limit bandwith used to an user adjustable speed rate
2.) only run Veeam backups, if the IP address is pointing out “the-laptop-is-connected-to-the-Corporate-Network” (no VPN WAN IP address)
