Is anybody using Cortex XDR along with Veeam? It should be fairly easy to extend the Antivirus definition file, but I can’t find any information about how (or even if) Cortex can be called to scan a specific file.

Hi all…. greetings...I am thinking about immutable repo will affect repo sizing or not…In general cases, immutable for 14d or 30d, which is just a part of the retention policy (say 30D 4W 3M 3Y), storage size is just the same no matter when the immutable is on or offAlso, in real sizing task, we usually reserve spaces for annual growthSome occupation on storage spaces will be absorbed by the buffer... What about in extreme scenario, large backup sources and no. of VMs, large delta change, and long immutable period say 3years. Will the sizing different between immutable on and off?

been doing backups of our vcenter vms to disk for some time now.  just tried out the application aware processing and several VMs reported erros like “cannot find linux guest credentials” or “unbale to perform guest file system indexing”.am I right to think this means the VM was not backup up to disk, and I need to turn off applicaiton aware processing until I have correct credentials on those VMs?

Hi, I have a Windows 2022 Server with Hyper-V installed and running several Windows VM’s.  I think under B&R, there are two types of backups I can do for these Windows VM’s.  I can install Agent on them and treat them as standalone machines or back them up under Hyper-V.   Would anyone know the pros and cons of each method?  And is there a recommended method?thank you!

Hi,I currently have 2 Veeam servers, one is on-prem and one is an Azure VM. I’m trying to link Veeam to my Azure subscription so it can see storage which contains my backups. I have created an enterprise application in azure for this. In VB&R I then need to created an Azure compute account to link Veeam to Azure. For my on-prem server this is possible and I am successfully able to connect Veeam to Azure by adding the credentials. I did originally have issues, where by I was using a systems proxy - which would fail the connection, however if I added the proxy server in Edge, this would then work.Next I logged onto my Azure VM with VRO installed and went to follow the same process. I have added the proxy in both “netsh winhttp” system proxy as well as Edge. I cannot get the application to work. When I run wireshark, it looks like the Azure VM is bypassing any sort of proxy setting and trying to get directly to Azure.My question is, has anyone had the same issue, is it even possible t
