Hi All,

 

i have an short question regarding the exchange online mailbox backup. 

 

The companay decided to activate the Micorostf Archive feature for Mails. 

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/policy-and-compliance/in-place-archiving/manage-archives?view=exchserver-2019&viewFallbackFrom=exchonline-ww

 

So every mails wich are older than 180days should be moved to the archive. 

 

Is there any impact to our Backup ?

 

My opionion is not because we are running every 4 hours an backup and when a new mail is dected the mail would be backuped directly and is saved on the backup storage, When now the Micorosft archive policy is moveing the mail it doesnt belong to commvault. The Backups are incr 4 ever so no impact. 

 

is that correct ?

Hi @SSchmidt would request to review and make necessary changes from associated O365 plan( exchange section ) where you can configure primary mailbox , archive mailbox option toggle to protect if In-place archive will be enabled for mailbox going forward

Hi @SSchmidt 

To answer your primary question, Commvault backups are not impacted. 

Archive mailboxes can also be protected using Commvault. To protect archive mailboxes, move the "Enable backup on archived mailbox" toggle key to the right in the Office 365 plan being used.

REFERENCE: https://docs.commvault.com/2022e/essential/130384_create_office365_plan_for_exchange_online.html 

To summarize, yes, the data is backed up by Commvault before being archived by Microsoft.
