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?
Using the proxy server as a guest interaction proxy allows Veeam Backup & Replication to communicate with the VMs and perform tasks such as indexing without relying on VMware Tools (VIX). Since the proxy server is already in the same network as the Windows VM, it is well-positioned to handle this function. This setup adheres to the security regulations and ensures the backup process can proceed smoothly.
