Description

Azure Storage Mover now supports built-in job scheduling, giving customers more control over when migrations run and making it easier to automate repeatable data transfers into Azure. Customers can configure jobs to start automatically at a specific date and time, or set up recurring runs to keep their target storage in sync with data from on-premises environments.

In the portal, customers can choose No schedule, a one-time schedule, or a recurring schedule. Recurring schedules support daily, weekly, and monthly frequency options. Schedules can also be enabled or disabled as needed, giving teams flexibility to align migrations with maintenance windows, business operations, or phased cutover plans. 

Scheduling is designed to help teams reduce manual intervention while improving operational consistency for ongoing migrations and sync scenarios. This capability is positioned for scenarios such as off-hours movement, staged cutovers, and incremental syncs before final migration completion.
