I have a customer that stopped using Cloud Backup Service about a year ago. They were backing up to Azure Blob Storage. They would like to migrate the CBS backups that reside in Azure Blob Storage to Azure Archival Storage without backing up any new data from their on-prem system to the cloud. If they use BlueXP to do this, BXP requires them to activate the backs ups, which they do not want to do. I understand that Cloud Sync could be an option. What I am not sure of is if you can use Cloud Sync with Azure Blob Storage that was using CBS. Can you provide some insight or documentation on if this is possible or if there is another service or solution that the customer could use?     ... View more

We have setup a dual protocol volume using azure netapp files. After setup, we are having some issues regarding permissions.    - ANF is connected to our AD - Volume security is set to UNIX When we create a folder on linux the folder gets the user/group added. When you try and access that same folder from windows you get access denied, even if you were the one to create the folder. The only way to get access is to set the folder to 777. Also when we create a folder on the windows side the unix permissions shows as NFSNOBODY, however it is open to anyone.    Maybe this is a LDAP issue, but we haven't been able to pin point what the exact issue is.  ...
