Description: The platform is experiencing intermittent failures when partners & customers are attempting to create initial backup sets with the Microsoft 365 & Entra ID backup products. This results in the configuration of initial backup sets taking longer than normal, or failing completely. Our engineers are currently working on deploying a number of changes to the platform over the next 2 weeks, as they become available. Partners attempting to onboard new customers to the platform, should expect this to take longer than normal. Partners with a large number of new customers to onboard are recommended to postpone until the week of 2nd of February.
Update 27/01/26 - Improvements have been made to the add customer, add products & add user functionality within the redapp. This should improve performance and reliability.More changes to follow over the next 2 weeks
