VMware vSphere • Backup server entry with FQDN

Hey everyone,
Is there a supported way for VBR to add the backup server using its FQDN (to managed servers pane) instead of relying on NetBIOS?

I've frequently encountered name resolution issues, as NetBIOS is not exactly state-of-the-art. In most cases, customers don’t run any NetBIOS name servers, which complicates things further.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues, or do you have any advice on how to handle this more effectively?

Thanks in advance!
Christian
