in SMB over QUIC is now in public preview! on Sep 20 2021 02:09 PM
@Kostas777 No you cannot access any port through UDP. You access the port you registered your server on (QUIC is by default 443, but it can be changed). You can't just use any application on QUIC, your protocol must be adapted it. Right now that's SMB, HTTP, and DNS (this will expand - the point of ...

Ah yeah. Sorry. We definitely only support the ACL mirror model - in fact we go even further and support local user and groups (with their new SIDs) so that we don't lose access to data or expose it by mistake, something robocopy cannot handle. I think robocopy is going to be your best option, perha...
