To help troubleshoot Archiver performance, you can check the size of the MSMQ queue.

Procedure

  1. In Windows, go to C:\Windows\System32\msmq.
  2. Right-click the Storage folder > Properties.
  3. On the General tab, verify the following information:
    • Size: The size of the queue.
    • Contains: The number of items in the queue.
    The queue is full if the storage folder contains 520 items or the queue size exceeds 1 GB. If so, archiving stops.
