i ended up with AFS handling my NTFS volumes, and robocopy for containers (before i found bvckup2) - reason was also that the costs went up a fair bit with AFS for containers as you pay for source -> Azure Files -> Destination.....didnt make sense for container data at the tie

more the cost of having the middle man (azure files) storing data which it then pushes to whichever endpoint (in our deployment there were two endpoints in azure)
