Question
You need to sync files from an on premises server named Server1 to Azure by using Azure File Sync.
You have a cloud tiering policy that is configured for 30 percent free space and 70 days.
Volume E on Server1 is 500 GB.
A year ago, you configured E:\Data on Server1 to sync by using Azure File Sync. The files that are visible in E:\Data are shown in the following table.
Volume E does NOT contain any other files.
Where are File1 and File3 located? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
| Name | Size | Last accessed |
|------|------|---------------|
| File1 | 200 GB | 2 days ago |
| File2 | 100 GB | 10 days ago |
| File3 | 200 GB | 60 days ago |
| File4 | 50 GB | 100 days ago |
Explanation
File1: Server1 and the Azure file share — Every file in a synced folder is uploaded to the Azure file share, so the cloud copy always exists. File1 is the most recently accessed file, so cloud tiering keeps its content cached on volume E as well.
File3: The Azure file share only — Two cloud tiering policies apply. The date policy (70 days) tiers File4, which was last accessed 100 days ago. The volume free space policy (30 percent) requires 150 GB of the 500 GB volume to stay free, so at most 350 GB of file content can be cached locally. Files are kept in order of most recent access: File1 (200 GB) and File2 (100 GB) use 300 GB, and caching File3 (200 GB) as well would exceed 350 GB. So File3 is tiered: its content exists only in the Azure file share, and Server1 keeps only a reparse point that recalls the file when it is opened.
