Hi Joey Williams,

Internal Work-Related Information, You can manage network bandwidth usage for Azure file shares by using throttling settings. Throttling allows you to regulate network bandwidth during backup operations by defining work hours and non-work hours limits. For example, you can set specific bandwidth limits for different times of the day using PowerShell cmdlets

Additionally, it's important to consider networking configurations for Azure Files, such as accessing file shares over public or private endpoints and caching file shares on-premises with Azure File Sync

External Public Information, Azure Files offers different pricing models and performance tiers to suit your needs. You can choose between SSD (premium) and HDD (standard) storage options, each with varying performance and cost implications. Azure Files supports multiple pricing models, including provisioned and pay-as-you-go options

To improve performance, you can enable SMB Multichannel, which allows clients to use multiple network connections for increased performance through bandwidth aggregation

If you have any other questions or are still running into more issues, let me know in the "comments" and I would be glad to assist you
