With https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/dpm/?p=8496 , we announced Modern Backup Storage (MBS), delivering 50% storage savings, 3x faster backups, and efficient backup storage utilization with Workload Aware Storage.

Data Protection Manager can backup key workloads such as SQL, SharePoint, Exchange, file servers, clients and VMs running on Hyper-V or VMware. With Modern Backup Storage and RCT based Hyper-V VM backups, DPM 2016 goes a step further in enhancing Enterprise backups by completely restructuring the way data is backed up and stored.  As MBS uses Windows Server 2016 ReFS Block Cloning and VHDX technology, MBS is enabled when DPM 2016 is running on Windows Server 2016.


How does Modern Backup Storage work?






Add volumes to MBS and configure Workload Aware Storage







Begin backing up by creating Protection Group with MBS


With these simple steps, you can efficiently store your backups using Modern Backup Storage technology.
