Question
Your on-premises network has a 100-Mbps internet connection and contains an SAP production landscape that has 14 TB of data files. You plan to migrate the on-premises SAP landscape to Azure. You need to migrate the data files to an Azure Files share. The solution must meet the following requirements:
- Migrate the files within seven days.
- Minimize administrative effort.
- Minimize service outages.
What should you use?

Explanation
Azure Data Box is correct because the math eliminates an internet-based transfer: 14 TB over a 100 Mbps connection takes roughly 13+ days, well beyond the 7-day requirement. Azure Data Box is a physical appliance Microsoft ships to you - you load your files onto it, ship it back, and Microsoft ingests the data directly into your Azure Files share, bypassing the bandwidth bottleneck entirely with minimal admin overhead.
AzCopy (B) copies data over the internet and would fail the 7-day constraint at that connection speed. Azure Migrate (A) is designed for assessing and migrating VMs/servers to Azure, not for bulk file transfers to Azure Files. Azure Site Recovery (D) is a disaster recovery and replication service for workloads and VMs - it has no role in a file migration scenario.
Memory tip: Use the "bandwidth math" rule on exam day - if (data size / connection speed) > time limit, the answer is Data Box. Think: "Too big for the pipe? Put it in a box."
