Getting ready

Microsoft System Center DPM uses, by default, the new backup option, Modern Backup Storage. Once a volume is added in the Admin Console, DPM will automatically format that volume with the ReFS. There are four steps to setting up MBS:

1. Provide a new storage pool
2. Create a new virtual disk and define its properties
3. Create a new volume and define its storage layout and provisioning scheme
4. Add the this new volume to DPM
