One of the Mailboxes had already a different archive database, which made up the huge difference.
Thanks you for the great guide and if possible my comments can be deleted :)

This was part of the command we used:
Get-Mailbox -Database $DBSourceName[$i] | New-MoveRequest -ArchiveTargetDatabase $DBTargetName[$i] -ArchiveOnly -BadItemLimit 1000 -AcceptLargeDataLoss
One last MoveRequest is currently still running though, but i don’t think that the edb will be smaller after it finishes.

maybe during migration you also move archive mailboxes if you have it enabled ?

Name DatabaseSize AvailableNewMailboxSpace
—- ———— ————————
ARCHIV 304.5 GB (326,963,888,128 bytes) 62.59 GB (67,205,300,224 bytes)
TEMP_ARCHIV 361.8 GB (388,435,083,264 bytes) 74.97 MB (78,610,432 bytes)

Shouldn’t the TEMP_ARCHIV be much smaller than the old ARCHIV-Database?

Thanks for any input
