Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Use Azure File Sync to centralize your organization's file shares in Azure Files, while keeping the flexibility, performance, and compatibility of an on-premises file server. Azure File Sync transforms Windows Server into a quick cache of your Azure file share.
Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the industry standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Azure file shares can be mounted concurrently by cloud or on-premises deployments of Windows, Linux, and macOS. Additionally, Azure file shares can be cached on Windows
Servers with Azure File Sync for fast access near where the data is being used.
Azure file shares can be used to:
Replace or supplement on-premises file servers:
Azure Files can be used to completely replace or supplement traditional on-premises file servers or NAS devices. Popular operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux can directly mount Azure file shares wherever they are in the world. Azure file shares can also be replicated with Azure File Sync to Windows
Servers, either on-premises or in the cloud, for performance and distributed caching of the data where it's being used.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/file-sync/file-sync-introduction Azure File Sync is backed by Azure Files, which offers several redundancy options for highly available storage. Because Azure contains resilient copies of your data, your local server becomes a disposable caching device, and recovering from a failed server can be done by adding a new server to your Azure File Sync deployment. Rather than restoring from a local backup, you provision another Windows Server, install the Azure File Sync agent on it, and then add it to your Azure File Sync deployment. Azure File Sync downloads your file namespace before downloading data, so that your server can be up and running as soon as possible. For even faster recovery, you can have a warm stand by server as part of your deployment, or you can use Azure File Sync with Windows Clustering. Answer is Yes

should be YES. The Azure Backup service smoothly integrates with Azure File Sync, and allows you to centralize your file share data as well as your backups. for NTFS concern, Azure file shares don't support accessing an individual Azure file share with both the SMB and NFS protocols, although you can create SMB and NFS file shares within the same storage account.

B - No. Azure Storage Sync service support sunchronization only for NTFS, if yor server has disks using ReFS or FAT32, you wn't be abe to sync them. But even for NTFS not all files are synced. See the section "File system compatibility" on the page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/file-sync/file-sync-planning

Premium: Premium file shares are backed by solid-state drives (SSDs) and provide consistent high performance and low latency, within single-digit milliseconds for most IO operations, for IO-intensive workloads. Premium file shares are suitable for a wide variety of workloads like databases, web site hosting, and development environments. Premium file shares can be used with both Server Message Block (SMB) and Network File System (NFS) protocols.
