Display real-time progress during backup and restore operations for SQL Server

TDP 6.4.X.X for SQL Server
Enhancement request to display real-time progress during backup and restore operations for SQL Server in the progress bar in both tabs "Task List" and "Task Details".
Currently the progress bar stays empty until the end of the process, where the progress bar is fulfilling to 100% directly with State changing to Completed.
This is one major regression we can see between TDP 5.5.X.X and TDP 6.4.X.X clients.

    There are different options being looked at for resolving the behavior as described. This does align with current plans. Some relief will be provided in our next maintenance release this year with more enhancements being targeted for a future release. This is not a statement of commitment as plans are subject to change. However, we will provide an update once this capability has been delivered or plans differ than what has been articulated here.
