Copy 10TB data to Azure Files from On-Premise FAST

[karthik]

One of the data migrations we are doing is to copy roughly 10TB to Azure Files. Doing it over SMB from on-prem to Azure File Share is taking a very long time. I read somewhere that your software can send large files in multiple chunks where data transfers then take a fraction of the time?
Would reruns skip unchanged files?

Thanks,

Thank you for the details. Yes, we offer two options when copying to Azure Files. There is the SMB version and there is also the https version. The https option sends large files in multiple streams if you will... For example, a 10GB file would be sent simultaneously as multiple 15MB chunks. So instead of taking 15 minutes, it would take 2 minutes (this is an example, it depends on speed and latency and so forth).

Reruns of the jobs using Copy Changes Only or Mirror would skip unchanged files and only copy new and modified files.

We see many customers using this option.

Let us know if you need anything else.
