-**Date Policy**: Files are tiered to the cloud if they haven't been accessed (that is, read or written to) for the specified number of days. For example, if you noticed that files that have gone more than 15 days without being accessed are typically archival files, you should set your date policy to 15 days.

- Option #1: Merge the content of this server path with the content in the Azure file share. Files with the same name and path will lead to conflicts if their content is different. Both versions of those files will be stored next to each other. If your server path or Azure file share are empty, always choose this option.

> Azure Files Sync takes a snapshot of the Azure file share as a backup before creating the server endpoint. This snapshot can be used to restore the share to the state before the server endpoint was created. The snapshot is not removed automatically after the server endpoint is created, so you can delete it manually if you don't need it. You can find the snapshots created by Azure File Sync by looking at the snapshots for the Azure file share and checking for AzureFileSync in the Initiator column.
