Additional information needed about mmbackup jobs

The mmbackup command uses the Scale policy engine to determine what needs to be backed up. It should be possible to get additional information about the backup from the policy engine, including the amount of data to be backed up. This kind of information would be useful to have when it comes to, for instance, troubleshooting long-running backups or load balancing across multiple data movers.
