This file system seems unsupported: I cannot see any meaningful volume information in MR, all ReFS formatted volumes are listed as 'Unformatted primary'.
Is support planned in the near future?
Thanks for any useful info.

Thanks for posting. 

ReFS will be supported in a future update. I'm afraid I can't confirm when this will be available but it is being actively worked on. ReFS will have similar support to NTFS but will not include the ability to shrink the file system on restore.

Kind Regards

And will this future ReFS volume/disk support include Image Guardian functionality?
Thx,

Is anything happening with regards to ReFS support?

My understanding is that I can use file and folder backups for ReFS but not disk imaging. Is this still the case?

I remain unable to image backup either of my ReFS drives (flying rust HDD 10TB & SSD NVme 2TB)  ...still shown as local unformatted primary drives. The slower File/Folder backups are successful. Image Guardian is apparently OK with ReFS. So, when is MR (at long last) going to have full compliancy with Resilient File System stuff?

You're welcome. If you need an NDA alpha or public beta tester I am probably available ...so long as it actually is ReFS-orientated. 

Reflect V8 is already out, so the beta is over. If there’s an ongoing beta effort akin to Windows Insider channels, I’m not aware of it.

Noted. Think if either drive goes down I'm stuffed anyway other than firing up new kit and returning to NTFS (MS not allowing me to format with ReFS anymore). When MS introduced ReFS they unexpectedly found that they had a real marketable gem ...and promptly pulled it to be exclusive to corporates and other more profitable venues. Hang us mere punters:-/
