LRS doesn't require a specific naming convention for backup files. It scans all files placed on Azure Blob Storage and constructs the backup chain from reading the file headers only. Databases are in a **restoring** state during the migration process. Databases are restored in [NORECOVERY](/sql/t-sql/statements/restore-statements-transact-sql#comparison-of-recovery-and-norecovery) mode, so they can't be used for read or write workloads until the migration process completes.

- Place backup files for each database in a separate folder on Azure Blob Storage in a flat-file structure. For example, use separate database folders: `bolbcontainer/database1/files`, `blobcontainer/database2/files`, etc.

- Don't use nested folders inside database folders as this structure isn't supported. For example, don't use subfolders: `blobcontainer/database1/subfolder/files`.

- Start LRS separately for each database.

- Specify different URI paths to separate database folders on Azure Blob Storage.

After LRS is stopped, either automatically through autocomplete, or manually through cutover, you can't resume the restore process for a database that was brought online on SQL Managed Instance. For example, once migration completes, you're no longer able to restore more differential backups for an online database. To restore more backup files after migration completes, you need to delete the database from the managed instance and restart the migration from the beginning.
