SPP - Datastore Utilisation Check

Please can SPP have a setting to check the utilisation % of a datastore prior to backing up to ensure that the snapshot being taken does not risk the datastore running out of space.
This can then be checked by SPP prior to each VM being backed up, if the % is over then fail the job.
This is similar to the vmdatastorethreshold functionality which exists in "Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments" or the snapshot_max_change_percent in Avamar, and other products have similar functions.
