Exchange Archive Database Offline Investigating / Notice
12 hrs

The process failed and restarted around 2am and doesn't seem to have the same estimate. Unfortunately it doesn't seem we'll have the archive database online by the start of business but we'll continue to monitor the progress and mount as soon as all process are completed

Update 02/20/2026 00:38 AM 17 hrs

We've taken an archive database offline for defragmentation and an offline backup. We anticipate the work to last at least 12 hours. Just a reminder that archive databases contain archived mail and not the incoming/live mail for the user (which remains uninterrupted.)
