Feature Request: Automatically add Defender Antivirus Exclusions

[nmdange]

I discovered recently that Defender quarantined some .vib files on our Windows-based backup repository. I can add the antivirus exclusions per https://www.veeam.com/kb1999 but it would be nice if Veeam could automatically update the exclusions when it is installed/updated. Windows Server 2019 and later have Defender installed and enabled by default, so I've seen other vendors start to automatically add exclusions.

Hello,
automatically sounds too radical to me, because we cannot simply undermine customers settings. But agree, we could maybe add a checkbox for that.

Thanks for the request!

Best regards,
