User Mailbox
Microsoft 365's user mailbox can be backed up using the BDRSuite Backup Server. The user mailbox data will be backed up and stored on the chosen repository. While backing up the user mailbox data, if there is any connectivity issues or disturbances due to which the backup is interrupted then rather than initiating the backup process from the very beginning, the backup will resume from where it was left off thus enhancing the backup speed and thereby resulting in efficient resource utilization.
|
Note: BDRsuite for Microsoft 365 supports 'Where it left off' feature for User Mailbox Backup. Example: If there are 30 files in the user mailbox configured in a backup job and while the backup process of say, 18th file an interruption occurs and when connection is reestablished, rather than getting started from the very first file, the backup will be resumed from the 18th file only. |
