A company backs up data to on-premises servers at their main facility. The company currently has 30 TB of archived data that infrequently used. The facility has download speeds of 100 Mbps and upload speeds of 20 Mbps.
You need to securely transfer all backups to Azure Blob Storage for long-term archival. All backup data must be sent within seven days.
Solution: Create a file share in Azure Files. Mount the file share to the server and upload the files to the file share. Transfer the files to Azure Blob Storage.
Does this meet the goal?

A. B.B
The proposed solution suggests creating a file share in Azure Files, mounting the file share to the server, uploading the files to the file share, and then transferring the files to Azure Blob Storage.
This solution can meet the goal of securely transferring all backups to Azure Blob Storage for long-term archival. However, it may not be the most efficient solution for transferring large amounts of data within the given timeframe.
The upload speed of the main facility is only 20 Mbps, which means it will take a significant amount of time to transfer 30 TB of data. Even if the files are first uploaded to Azure Files, the transfer from Azure Files to Azure Blob Storage will still take a considerable amount of time.
A more efficient solution could be to use Azure Import/Export service or Azure Data Box. Azure Import/Export service allows the company to securely transfer large amounts of data to Azure Blob Storage by shipping hard drives to an Azure datacenter. Azure Data Box is a physical device that can be shipped to the company's main facility to transfer the data to Azure Blob Storage. Both solutions can significantly reduce the time it takes to transfer the data to Azure Blob Storage.
In conclusion, while the proposed solution can meet the goal of securely transferring all backups to Azure Blob Storage for long-term archival, it may not be the most efficient solution given the time constraints and limited upload speed of the main facility. Using Azure Import/Export service or Azure Data Box may be a better solution for transferring large amounts of data to Azure Blob Storage within the given timeframe.
