The amount of storage you provision can be smaller than what you are currently using on your Linux Samba server, if you use Azure File Syncs [cloud tiering](storage-sync-cloud-tiering.md) feature.

However, when you copy your files from the larger Linux Samba server space to the smaller Windows Server volume in a later phase, you will need to work in batches:

You can avoid this batching approach by provisioning the equivalent space on the Windows Server that your files occupy on the Linux Samba server. Consider enabling deduplication on Windows. If you don't want to permanently commit this high amount of storage to your Windows Server, you can reduce the volume size after the migration and before adjusting the cloud tiering policies. That creates a smaller on-premises cache of your Azure file shares.
