| 1 | File Server with multiple disks/volumes and multiple shares to same target Azure file share (consolidation) | No | A target Azure file share (cloud endpoint) only supports syncing with one sync group. <br/> <br/> A sync group only supports one server endpoint per registered server. | 1) Start with syncing one disk (its root volume) to target Azure file share. Starting with largest disk/volume will help with storage requirements on-premises. Configure cloud tiering to tier all data to cloud, thereby freeing up space on the file server disk. Move data from other volumes/shares into the current volume which is syncing. Continue the steps one by one until all data is tiered up to cloud/migrated.<br/> 2) Target one root volume (disk) at a time. Use cloud tiering to tier all data to target Azure file share. Remove server endpoint from sync group, re-create the endpoint with the next root volume/disk, sync and repeat the process. Note: Agent re-install might be required.<br/> 3) Recommend using multiple target Azure file shares (same or different storage account based on performance requirements) |

| 2 | File server with single volume and multiple shares to same target Azure file share (consolidation) | Yes | Can't have multiple server endpoints per registered server syncing to same target Azure file share (same as above) | Sync root of the volume holding multiple shares or top-level folders. Refer to [Share grouping concept](#share-grouping) and [Volume sync](#volume-sync) for more information. |

| 3 | File server with multiple shares and/or volumes to multiple Azure file shares under single storage account (1:1 share mapping) | Yes | A single Windows Server instance (or cluster) can sync up to 30 Azure file shares.<br/><br/> A storage account is a scale target for performance. IOPS and throughput get shared across file shares.<br/><br/> Keep number of items per sync group within 100 million items (files and folders) per share. Ideally it's best to stay below 20 or 30 million per share. | 1) Use multiple sync groups (number of sync groups = number of Azure file shares to sync to).<br/> 2) Only 30 shares can be synced in this scenario at a time. If you have more than 30 shares on that file server, use [Share grouping concept](#share-grouping) and [Volume sync](#volume-sync) to reduce the number of root or top-level folders at source.<br/> 3) Use additional File Sync servers on-premises and split/move data to these servers to work around limitations on the source Windows server. |
