To use the Azure Import/Export service to copy files to a storage account, you need to create two files before you prepare the drives for the import job:

  1. A driveset CSV file: A driveset CSV file is a file that contains the list of drives that you want to ship to Microsoft for import. You can create this file using a text editor or a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. The driveset CSV file should include the following information for each drive:
  • Drive letter
  • Drive size
  • Drive type (HDD or SSD)
  • The full path of the directory that contains the data you want to import
  1. An XML manifest file: The XML manifest file is a file that describes the files and folders that you want to import. You can create this file using a text editor such as Notepad or a specialized tool such as the Azure Import/Export Tool. The manifest file should include the following information:
  • The name of the Azure storage account
  • The name of the container in the storage account where the data will be imported
  • The destination path for the imported data
  • The type of import job (import or export)
  • The name of the driveset CSV file
  • The path of the dataset CSV file (optional)

Option A - A dataset CSV file is used to specify the list of files or objects to be imported/exported. However, this file is optional and not required for the Azure Import/Export service.

Option D - A PowerShell PS1 file is not required for creating an import/export job using the Azure Import/Export service.

Option E - A JSON configuration file is also not required for creating an import/export job using the Azure Import/Export service.

Therefore, the correct answers are:

  • C. a driveset CSV file
  • B. an XML manifest file
