Hi Dave:
Backup Exec is only designed to be able to use a Remote Agent that is one version prior to the version installed on the media server. So a 9.1 Remote Agent cannot be used with a version 11D Media Server. There is also limited support for a file system backup of NT4 and you will not be able to utilize the SQL Agent unless the NT4 Machine is upgraded to Windows 2000 or 2003. What you will have to do is use the SQL Backup Utility to dump the data to disk, then use Backup Exec to backup the dump file (.bak).
