You should be able to restore to a SQL 2005 instance as long as Backup Exec is fully patched on both servers to Service Pack 4.  SQL 2005 support was added by way of a hotfix to Backup Exec 10d

If there is likely to be a problem, I would expect it to be a Microsoft limitation between the SQL versions and the database content rather than a BEWS introduced limitation. As such if you are trying to Migrate databases between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 you should perhaps consult with Microsoft.
