I have a simple question: How do i install backup agent for xp?

i am running backup exec 9.1. on some clients i can backup. on other i get
"Selection of this item is disable, you are not authorized to access this
item, license key for Backup Exec Remote Agent on Windows Server is needed
or Remote Agent is old or incompatible".
the icon and the C$ icon are grayed out under Backup Selections.

Shawn:
The easist way (for me) was to share the Veritas folder on the Media server. On the client computer, connect to this share. Browse out to Backup Exec\NT\Agents\RANT32, then run SETUPAA.CMD. You can check the services on the client PC after the install completes. You should see the Backup Exec Remote Agent running.
Hope that helps.
