Azure Data Factory-Incrementally copy files based on LastModifiedDate by using the Copy Data tool


 In this tutorial, we'll use the Azure portal to create a data factory. You'll then use the Copy Data tool to create a pipeline that incrementally copies new and changed files only, from Azure Blob storage to Azure Blob storage. It uses LastModifiedDate to determine which files to copy.

Azure Data Factory will scan all the files in the source store, apply the file filter by LastModifiedDate, and copy to the destination store only files that are new or have been updated since last time. Note that if Data Factory scans large numbers of files, you should still expect long durations. File scanning is time consuming, even when the amount of data copied is reduced. In this Demo, we'll complete these tasks: Use the Copy Data tool to create a pipeline. Monitor the pipeline and activity runs.
