Hello,
You can backup Share point portal server 2003 as well as Windows Sharepoint services.
Additional information:-
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services is available in Windows Server 2003 as an optional Windows Component. Since the data is stored in a SQL (MSDE) instance called SHAREPOINT (by default), the SQL data is protected by the Writer instance of
SHAREPOINT in the Backup Exec Shadow Copy Components file system.
Although a Backup Exec SQL Server Agent license is not required to use the SQL Server Writer to protect Windows SharePoint Services on Windows Server 2003, if you have a license, you can use the Backup Exec SQL Server Agent instead of the Writer to protect the data.
If you installed Windows SharePoint Services using an instance name other than SHAREPOINT, the Microsoft SQL Server Writer instance does not display as a backup selection unless you enter a serial number for the Backup Exec Agent for SQL Server.
Sharepoint 2003 icon is now displayed under MS SQL selections icon.
Unlike earlier versions of Sharepoint portal server where the sharepoint databases were shown under its own selections, the design is changed by Microsoft in Sharepoint 2003.
SPS 2003 uses either MSDE 2000 or SQL Server 2000 to store its content and information.
In addition, following white-paper may serve useful:

Note: Figure 1 and 2 from that above URL shows how the SPS 2003 databases are reflected in Backup Exec.
==================================
The SharePoint Agent must be installed on the media server.
-The Backup Exec Remote Agent for Windows Servers (Remote Agent) must be installed on each remote SharePoint Portal Server that will be protected.
In addition,for SharePoint Portal Server 2003, the Remote Agent must be installed on each SQL server in the server farm.
-The credentials specified by the logon account used for backing up and restoring SharePoint Portal Server data must have local administrative rights on the servers where SharePoint components are installed. Additionally, to back up and restore individual documents in workspaces or backward-compatible document libraries, the account must be granted the Coordinator role in SharePoint on all folders to be accessed in the workspace or document library.
