Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me out - I recently enabled archive mailbox on my Exchange Online backups and I’m seeing that my backup health has dropped and some jobs are committing.
Is this normal, if not - how can I fix it?
Thanks

Thanks for reaching out on the Metallic community.
In some scenarios, when archive mailbox is enabled, you will see jobs start to commit, and backup health drop a bit. This could be due to a large archive mailbox which we are actively processing.
Take a look at this Knowledge Base article which can explain further: Mailbox backups for a user or for multiple users never complete, due to a large archive mailbox
Thanks,
Mike

There isn’t much archive data present so assuming once this is done backing up, it will catch up on it’s own again?

In general exchange backups aren’t as efficient as e.g. on-prem ones. There’s a full backup triggered first time, it’s usually long lasting. Then incremental backups are triggered e.g. each day, which are usually short ones.

Hi EBL Admin
Microsoft does to some throttling in the background with Archive data so it can seem slower than the Primary Exchange data.
Once Metallic has read the new unique data you should see jobs return to normal as the incremental jobs will be backing up small change rates in data.
