M365 Backup - What is the normal throughput
I have a small mailbox backup job running at the moment, 200 users, but the plan is to expand this to 2500 users.
But I only have a throughput around 15-20 MB/s. EWS throttling is disabled.
Is this normal, please let me know what transfer speed you have?

backup speed of 15 to 20 MB/s for M365 is normal due to ms API limits and even with throttling off, performance is capped but to improve it, use multiple backup proxies, register more apps, and split large jobs.
+23Look at the number of items being processed rather than MBps as you’re doing API calls to fetch and backup each item.
Backup performance scales out with more mailboxes due to per mailbox throttling from Microsoft (up to a tenant level limit). And overall Graph API limitations exist on the number of API calls based on seat license count within your M365 tenant itself. So numbers will always vary.

+21What version of VB365 are you using? Are you on v8 and taking advantage of Proxy Pools?
