Don't you have to install the remote administrator on each server
in order to install IDR for that particular server?

You only need to create one set of disks. Once you run a FULL backup of
each server, with the agent accelerator installed, a machinename.dr file is
created on the BE server and in an alternate dir if you specify one. You
copy the DR files to a diskette for use during recovery. The DR contains
all the info needed to get a mini copy of NT running along with your
partition information.

You only need to run the IDR setup on the machines where the BE engine is
installed.

No, remote admin doesn't have to be installed on the remote server in order
to do remote IDR. I'd check 2 things, 1) Is the latest version of the BE
agent installed on the remote server (i.e. at the same release level and
build level as the server) and 2) if you look in the job, is BE using the
agent and capturing the IDR information?
