Reverse Azure File Serivces

Since the decommission of StorSimple back in late 2022, AFS has been working great.  Due to some cost saving initiatives, I've been asked to bring back the data from AFS to on-premises.  Been working on this for a couple of months and have determined that this isn't as easy.  I have the sequence of events documented but if anyone has performed this action, I'd really like to speak to them.

 

I've engaged Microsoft on several support tickets and they've been great (a bit confused as to why we're even considering this) but still have to complete this task.  Just to get another admin's perspective to determine if my plan is correct and not left anything out.

 

Thanks,

Stan
