## Preview limitations
29

+
The Cloud-to-Cloud Migration feature in Azure Storage Mover is currently in preview. The following limitations apply:
31
+
32
+
- Each migration job supports the transfer of 10 million objects.
33
+
- A maximum of 10 concurrent jobs is supported per subscription.
34
+
- Azure Storage Mover doesn't support automatic rehydration of archived objects. Data stored in AWS Glacier or Deep Archive must be restored before migration. Migration jobs should only be initiated after the data is fully restored.
35
+
- Private Networking is currently not supported. However, Azure Storage Mover's Cloud-to-Cloud feature securely transfers data by limiting S3 access to trusted Azure IP ranges. This approach ensures secure, controlled connectivity over the public internet.

The multicloud connector attempts to assign roles to the storage account and blob container. After the roles are assigned, select **Start** to begin the migration job. The job runs in the background, and you can monitor its progress in the **Migration overview** tab.
As you use Storage Mover to migrate your data to your Azure destination targets, you should monitor the copy operations for potential issues. Data relating to the operations being performed during your migration are displayed within the **Migration overview** tab. This data allows you to track the progress of your migration by providing current status and key information such as progress, speed, and estimated completion time.
