Hi,
Yes, you can deploy and use Veeam Agent for Linux on your VMs to workaround both limitations.
VM image-level backup jobs through the hypervisor with "Direct LUN disks attached" are impossible with all hypervisors—the backup must be performed from within the guest in these scenarios.
As for "VM guest OS file indexing," this is easier to implement and may become a feature in the future, but there is no ETA at this time.
Best,
Fabian
