Hello,
It seems that Daffy is a remote server which you are trying to backup from the Backup exec server. In this case, ensure the following:
1. The remote agent license should be installed on the backup exec server
2. The remote agent should be either push installed or locally installed on the remote server. Refer to the following procedure in order to accomplish this:
How to do a manual / silent install of the Backup Exec 9.x and 10.0 Remote Agent for Windows Servers (RAWS) if the push install does not succeed

3. After installing the remote agent, look for the service 'Backup Exec agent for remote servers' on the remote server. This service should use the Local system account and should have the start up set to automatic.
You can then backup the server/servers from remote selections.
We also suggest you to upgrade to the latest release for 10.0 i.e 5520. Refer to the link below in order to get the install files:

NOTE: you will have to reinstall the remote agent on all remote servers after the upgrade.
For more information on Backup exec, you can download the administrator's manual at the following link:

Hope the above information helps. In case of further queries, write back to the forum.
