SP Migration from On prem file share which was synced to Azure Files
Greetings we are migrating quite a few on prem file shares that have been backed up via Azure File Sync to Azure File shares for quite some time. The migration is going well, but the Azure File Sync had tiering in place due to the on prem servers being low on disk. So for one of the Migrations I am in the process of doing there are quite a few files that did not migrate because they have a status of ALOM and are sitting in Azure cold storage. Is there anyway to tell The SharePoint Migration tool to attempt to open the files which would pull them out of cold storage?
Like I said I could issue a Hydrate command to pull them all back to the on prem file server but that server does not have enough free disk space fot this. I want to selectively do this for only some of the folders.
There is a great command to only hydrate specific folders
first load the module
Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\Azure\StorageSyncAgent\StorageSync.Management.ServerCmdlets.dll'
then enter this command to hydrate or pull down all the files in the path specified
Invoke-StorageSyncFileRecall -Path "E:\acct\ap\invoices" for example

Try tools like Mult Cloud and Gs Richcopy 360 , both are great to to copy or move any type of files from/to SharePoint
