[mrtg] Re: Question about MRTG and backups

[Barry_Young at interliant.com]

I do not believe it is straight-forward to segregate this traffic, unless
you are able to differentiate the protocol/port flows on your
servers/switches.

If your network architecture and budgets permit it, I would suggest you run
a discreetly separate private backup network for your servers.  This would
remove non-billable traffic from the *public* side.

Is there any way to account for traffic caused by backups with mrtg?  We
cannot bill for that traffic, and aside for building a backup only
network, I am out of ideas..  I figured someone may have already run
into this issue before.
