Question

You have an on-premises Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) deployment that contains 10 servers.

You plan to migrate the DFSR deployment to Azure File Sync and configure cloud tiering.

You need to identify the earliest time to turn on cloud tiering. The solution must minimize the space utilized in the on-premises environment during the migration.

At which point during the migration should you enable cloud tiering?

Correct answer

after the DFSR components are fully removed

Azure File Sync is compatible with DFSR. You can install the Azure File Sync agent on DFSR servers and sync data between those server endpoints and the cloud endpoint. However, if you want to use Azure File Sync and DFSR side-by-side, you must disable Azure File Sync cloud tiering on volumes with DFSR-replicated folders until the DFSR components are fully removed.
