| ^ Large Number of Mailboxes | Backup of a large number of mailboxes can take more time to complete. \\ \\ For example, it may not be possible to run multiple mail level backup sets concurrently on the Exchange server for 1000 user mailboxes, as it may affect the server performance, so administrator may be limited to start one backup set at a time. \\ \\ 1 backup set can only have a total of 16 concurrent threads by default. | Backup of a large number of mailboxes can take less time to complete. \\ \\ For example, 1000 user mailboxes can be divided into 5 separate backup sets of 200 mailboxes each.
