File fidelity, in a migration, can therefore be defined as the ability to store all applicable file information on the source, the ability to transfer them with the migration tool and the ability to store them on the target storage of the migration.

Azure file shares also preserve the file and folder hierarchy. Additionally, they not only allow for NTFS permissions to be stored, but also allowing your AD users (or AAD DS users) to natively access an Azure file share. They use their current identity and get access based on share permissions as well as file and folder ACLs. A behavior not unlike when users connect to an on-premises file share.

There are several Microsoft and non-Microsoft file copy tools available. In order to choose the right tool for a migration scenario, there are three fundamental questions one must consider:

1. Does the copy tool support the source and the target location for a given file copy? While this appears to be an obvious requirement, it is worth looking a layer deeper: Does it support your network path and/or available protocols (for instance REST/SMB/NFS) to and from the source and target storage locations?

2. Does the copy tool preserve the necessary file fidelity that is supported by the source/target location? In some cases, your target storage does not support the same fidelity as your source. You have already made the decision that the target storage is sufficient for your needs, hence the copy tool only needs to match the targets file fidelity capabilities.
7373
3. Does the copy tool have features that make it fit into my migration strategy? For instance, consider if it has options that allow you to minimize your downtime. A good question to ask is: Can I run this copy multiple times on the same, by users actively accessed location? If so, you can reduce the amount of downtime significantly. Compare that to a situation where you can only start the copy when the source stops changing, in order to guarantee a complete copy.
