Endpoint Backup v2 - Last backup time not updating/UniView backup threshold alerts falsely triggering – 2026-05-21
Summary: Between 2026-05-22 14:28 UTC and 2026-05-26 12:56 UTC, Endpoint Backup v2 customers experienced an issue where the last backup timestamp for Endpoint Backup v2 assets failed to update correctly, which resulted in false-positive backup threshold alerts within UniView.
Root Cause:
A large number of backup messages built up in the system faster than they could be processed. As a result, backup updates were delayed by several days. This caused outdated “last backup” timestamps and triggered incorrect backup alerts for multiple partners.
