WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why SetupMountServer needs a policy

This tool creates a new mount server in the Veeam backup infrastructure. While reversible (a mount server can be removed), it modifies the system state and infrastructure configuration. The severity is 'high' because misconfiguration could compromise backup/recovery operations or introduce security vulnerabilities in the backup environment.
