Instead, it protects workloads as it does with Backup Server v1. For more information, see the Backup Server version [protection matrix](backup-mabs-protection-matrix.md).

 ## Create a volume for Modern Backup Storage
 
-Using Backup Server v2 with volumes as disk storage can help you maintain control over storage. A volume can be a single disk. However, if you want to extend storage in the future, create a volume out of a disk created by using storage spaces. This can help if you want to expand the volume for backup storage. This section offers best practices for creating a volume with this setup.

+## Migrate legacy storage to Modern Backup Storage
+After you upgrade to or install Backup Server V2 and upgrade the operating system to Windows Server 2016, update your protection groups to use Modern Backup Storage. By default, protection groups are not changed. They continue to function as they were initially set up.
+
+Updating protection groups to use Modern Backup Storage is optional. To update the protection group, stop protection of all data sources by using the retain data option. Then, add the data sources to a new protection group.
+
+1. In the Administrator Console, select the **Protection** feature. In the **Protection Group Member** list, right-click the member, and then select **Stop protection of member**.
+
+  ![Stop protection of member](http://docs.microsoft.com/system-center/dpm/media/upgrade-to-dpm-2016/dpm-2016-stop-protection1.png)
+
+2. In the **Remove from Group** dialog box, review the used disk space and the available free space for the storage pool. The default is to leave the recovery points on the disk and allow them to expire per their associated retention policy. Click **OK**.
+
+  If you want to immediately return the used disk space to the free storage pool, select the **Delete replica on disk** check box to delete the backup data (and recovery points) associated with that member.
+
+  ![Remove from Group dialog box](http://docs.microsoft.com/system-center/dpm/media/upgrade-to-dpm-2016/dpm-2016-retain-data.png)
+
+3. Create a protection group that uses Modern Backup Storage. Include the unprotected data sources.
+
+## Add disks to increase legacy storage
+
+If you want to use legacy storage with Backup Server, you might need to add disks to increase legacy storage.
+
+To add disk storage:
+
+1. In the Administrator Console, select **Management** > **Disk Storage** > **Add**.
