  1. Provide MAB Server protected datasource’s size for customers to be able to calculate protected instance costs.

    When setting up protection of instances, we need to see the actual size that is currently used for calculating the cost of that instance.
    This size should be displayed in the protected instance pane in Azure and be aggregated up to other overview panes in the vault.
    This way, we could use the Cost calculator to predict the monthly costs of the actual data. The sizes should be available via Powershell as well for reporting purposes.

  3. Add support for backup for exchange/sql server database on ReFS volumes

    Following the best practices guide for Exchange on TechNet, you can locate the database files on a volume formatted with ReFS file system,

    Unfortunately, Exchange and SQL Server databases can't be backed up by DPM from a ReFS volume (only NTFS works).
