Public Folder Backup Error - Expected an item Id but receive

Post by agrob »

Good Day

VBO 2.0. Backup job configured only for Exchange Items. Job did run fine last few months but since the weekend, i receive the following error

Processing mailbox PF-MBX-Root_MailboxID@company.onmicrosoft.com failed with error: Expected an item Id but received a folder Id.

Is this maybe a known issue or any idea how to fix?
Thanks

Hi Andre,

Honestly, this is the first time I come across such issue, and can only guess it might be something on the MS side... It'd the best if you open a support case to investigate the problem.
Will you please also take a minute to share your case ID here? Thanks

A quick update on the "Expected an item Id but received a folder Id" error: The root cause seems to be on the MS side; most likely there have been some changes to public folders in O365. Our teams are actively researching the issue. Stay tuned.

The same started happening to me this morning. Undertook some troubleshooting, but should have looked here first.

The Error seems to be fix by microsoft itself. I just had the confirmation from veeam support. the issue in my backup job did not appear again as well...

Just created a case for the issue (03185278) since we have had the issue since last week, and then it looks like as per agrob's post a few minutes before mine, it is now fixed!

I will close my case!
