A backup administrator must enable guest file system indexing for a backup job of a Microsoft Windows file server VM. All required credentials are added to the Veeam Backup & Replication server. VMware tools (VIX) cannot be used due to security regulations. What should be done to make it possible in the following environment?
In this scenario, the use of VIX is not an option due to security regulations, and the guest file system indexing process needs to be facilitated. The Veeam Backup & Replication server cannot directly access the VM network as no connection is shown in the diagram. The proper setup involves using the proxy server as a guest interaction proxy because it has access to both the management (MGMT) network and the VM network. This allows it to handle communication between the Veeam Backup & Replication server and the VM for performing guest file system indexing.
D, backup server cant reach the production network. You use the Proxy as a guest interaction proxy as it reaches both networks
D is a correct answer as a Windows Proxy Server can have the GIP services installed. This is different from the other version of this question where it is a Linux Proxy Server. In that the VBR would be added to the VM network to serve that role but that seems unnecessary in this case.

The correct is -> Connect the Veeam Backup & Replication server to the VM network.
D is correct.
D is correct.
the proxy has been explicited in "windows". So it can be used as GIP
Sorry. It is D because the server must be connected to the VM network and the Proxy server has Windows OS

according to the image. yes. According to the text, it is a windows VM so use of the proxy is possible
