Why do initial backups take a long time?

There are different factors that can affect the time it takes to complete an initial backup listed below.

• The number of emails that are being backed up.
• The current size of the mailbox. Depending on the size of the mailbox, it may take longer for the archive to be completed. 
• The number and size of attachments. Since you are able to navigate between files and attachments separately, this means that the greater the number of attachments in emails, the greater the time the initial backup may take.

• Any bandwidth restrictions from the mail server side.
