You can assign a custom volume to a PROTECTION group MEMBER, in place of the DPM storage POOL. A custom volume is a volume that is not in the DPM storage pool and is specified to store the REPLICA and recovery points for a protection group member.

Any volume that is attached to the DPM server can be selected as a custom volume, except the volume that contains the system and program files. To use custom volumes for a protection group member, two custom volumes must be available: one volume to store the replica and one volume to store the recovery points.
