    You don't need to install any agent to backup this share. Treat it as if it is a share on a NAS which you cannot install any any agent.  As long as the share is a standard SMB share, you can back it up.  See this document.

    Although you cannot install any agent on the server, to comply with licencing terms you would still need to install either a AWS or a RALUS licence on the media server for this remote server.
