What options exist for migrating large on-prem file servers to Azure NeApp Files?

Have you looked at Cloud Sync or XCP?

Thanks, CHRISMAKKI. I have, or I am, looking into to Cloud Sync. The question there is cost. I haven't looked at XCP so I'll be checking that out. We have migrated one file server which took two weeks to move. But, that was more or less a straight file copy from on prem VM to ANF.

When using NetApp Cloud Sync to migrate data to ANF there is no cost.
