While the term *endpoint* is often used in networking, it's used in the context of the Storage Mover service to describe a storage location with a high level of detail.

A storage mover endpoint is a resource that contains the path to either a source or destination location and other relevant information. Endpoints are used in the creation of a job definition. Only certain types of endpoints may be used as a source or a target, respectively.

A storage mover endpoint is a resource that contains the path to either a source or destination location and other relevant information. Endpoints are used in the creation of a job definition to define the source and target locations for a particular copy operation. Only certain types of endpoints may be used as a source or a target, respectively. For example, data contained within an NFS (Network File System) file share endpoint can only be copied to a blob storage container. Similarly, copy operations with an SMB-based (Server Message Block) file share target can only be migrated to an Azure file share,

This article guides you through the creation and management of Azure Storage Mover endpoints. To follow these examples, you need a top-level storage mover resource. If you haven't yet created one, follow the steps within the [Create a Storage Mover resource](storage-mover-create.md) article before continuing.

Within the Azure Storage Mover resource hierarchy, a migration project is used to organize migration jobs into logical tasks or components. A migration project in turn contains at least one job definition, which describes both the source and target locations for your migration project. The [Understanding the Storage Mover resource hierarchy](resource-hierarchy.md) article contains more detailed information about the relationships between a Storage Mover, its endpoints, and its projects.

Because a migration requires both a well-defined source and target, endpoints are parented to the top-level storage mover resource. This placement allows you to reuse endpoints across any number of job definitions. While there's only a single endpoint resource, the properties of each endpoint may vary based on its type. For example, NFS (Network File System) shares, SMB (Server Message Block) shares, and Azure Storage blob container endpoints each require fundamentally different information.

There are many use cases that require preserving metadata values such as file and folder timestamps, ACLs, and file attributes. Storage Mover supports the same level of file fidelity as the underlying Azure file share. Azure Files in turn [supports a subset](/rest/api/storageservices/set-file-properties) of the [NTFS file properties](/windows/win32/fileio/file-attribute-constants). The following table represents common metadata that is migrated:
