Possible to run MARS agent on same server running Azure File Sync?

Question

Hi All,

I have consulted the documentation and resources online and I can't seem to find a concrete answer regarding this. If I were to plan to setup an Azure File Sync on a server to sync fileshares on-premise with Azure Files, would it still be possible to run the MARS agent to backup the same server (specifically the system state and non-fileshare system files)? Would I need to just exclude the directories sync'd with the Azure File Sync agent?

Thank you!

@BeneTleilaxu I am not aware of an issue having both those agents installed nor could I find any problems when looking internally. If you exclude the file share from the backup I do not see why both of these could not coexist on the same server.

If you have some specific concerns please let me know and I will be happy to forward those to our service team.
