Unable to initialize Remote Agent errors

Hi,
I have some servers that are on the other side of a NAT device, and so therefore cannot use Remote Agent to do the backups. I instead use the simple shared folder method. Everything is backing up fine, and the selection list works well, but every sharepoint I have (multiple shares across multiple servers) gives me a "Unable to initialize Remote Agent" error when the backup is finished. These servers used to be local, and used to have remote agent installed, but it has been removed, and the servers have been deleted and re-added to the "User-defined selections" list.
Any ideas how to get BEWS to stop thinking that remote agents are involved?

TIA, Dave

Hello,

Even if you are backing up using User Defined Shares, you will need to install the Remote Agent.

Additionally refer the following documention.

Title:
Backup Exec 9.x for Windows Servers has improved support for backups of remote computers.
