A system architecture showing on-premises Windows Servers with the File Sync Agent registering with Azure Storage Sync Service, which creates Sync Groups linking cloud endpoints (Azure File Shares stored in a Storage Account) to server endpoints (local folders), with cloud tiering caching hot files locally, Azure Monitor tracking sync health, and Azure Backup protecting the share.
Configure and manage Azure File Sync
Azure File Sync is a service that keeps files synchronized between your on-premises Windows Servers and Azure File Shares. You deploy it by installing a sync agent on your Windows Server and then registering that server with a Sync Group in Azure. The Sync Group defines the connection between a specific cloud endpoint (your Azure File Share) and one or more server endpoints (folders on your local server). The service then continuously syncs files between these locations. A key feature is cloud tiering, which can move less-used files to the cloud, freeing up local disk space while keeping the files appear as if they are still locally stored.
