- **Folder-level auto protection:** vCenter Server lets you organize your VMs into Virtual Machine folders. Azure Backup Server detects these folders. You can use it to protect VMs at the folder level, including all subfolders. During the protection of folders, Azure Backup Server protects the VMs in that folder and protects VMs added later. Azure Backup Server detects new VMs daily, protecting them automatically. As you organize your VMs in recursive folders, Azure Backup Server automatically detects and protects the new VMs deployed in the recursive folders.

- **Azure Backup Server continues to protect vMotioned VMs within the cluster:** As VMs are vMotioned for dynamic resource load balancing within the cluster, Azure Backup Server automatically detects and continues VM protection.

The scratch location is a requirement for back up to Azure. Ensure the scratch location is at least 5% of the data planned to be backed up to the cloud. For disk protection, separate disks need to be configured once the installation completes. For more information about storage pools, see [Prepare data storage](/system-center/dpm/plan-long-and-short-term-data-storage).

206208
Capacity requirements for disk storage depend primarily on the size of the protected data, the daily recovery point size, expected volume data growth rate, and retention range objectives. We recommend you make the disk storage twice size of the protected data. This assumes a daily recovery point size that's 10% of the protected data size and a 10 days retention range. To get a good estimate of size, review the [DPM Capacity Planner](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=54301).

8. The installation happens in phases. In the first phase, the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent is installed on the server. The wizard also checks for Internet connectivity. If Internet connectivity is available, you can continue with the installation. If not, you need to provide proxy details to connect to the Internet.

>If you run into errors in vault registration, ensure that you're using the latest version of the MARS agent, instead of the version packaged with MABS server.

The next step is to configure the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent. As a part of the configuration, you'll have to provide your vault credentials to register the machine to the Recovery Services vault. You'll also provide a passphrase to encrypt/decrypt the data sent between Azure and your premises. You can automatically generate a passphrase or provide your own minimum 16-character passphrase. Continue with the wizard until the agent has been configured.

*Total data size* is the size of the data you want to back up, and disk space to be provisioned on DPM is the space that MABS recommends for the protection group. DPM chooses the ideal backup volume based on the settings. However, you can edit the backup volume choices in the disk allocation details. For the workloads, select the preferred storage in the dropdown menu. The edits change the values for *Total Storage* and *Free Storage* in the **Available Disk Storage** pane. *Underprovisioned space* is the amount of storage that DPM suggests you add to the volume for continuous smooth backups.
