backup exec 10d support for windows server 2008 64bit

does backup exec 10d (10.1) sp4 support windows server 2008 standard 64 bit?

the windows 2008 server in question used to have it's data backed up by a backup exec 11d agent running on a windows 2000 advanced server, now we need to back up the data from a windows 2003 server running backup exec 10d.

if i try to add a new backup job in 10d the local drives for the 2008 server are geyed out, but i'm able to select the shares.  i've also tried installing the agent from 10d to the 2008 server, but i get an error message indicating that remote installations to 64 bit computers are not supported.

thanks in advance for any help with this.
