Status Not under consideration

Utilization percentage of areas used by the product to store indexes should be displayed in the main product GUI. Not displaying this in a simple and readily available form can result in granular recoveries not being possible

If the utilization for the areas containing the lucern database (/data3 by default) was displayed within the main GUI it would be much simpler to keep track of issues that may affect recovery options further down the line. This would benefit all backup admins as they can keep space in this area under monitoring and ensure that warning thresholds are not reached.
