I have seen this a few times when I start BE from one machine, say the
backup server, and forget to logoff, and try to start BE later from my
workstation. I would not be too concerned. It should mean that on another
machine you will find a bkupexec.exe task running. Check the open files.

If this continues and you aren't accessing the BENT server from mumtiple
machines (say from the local console and through RA from your desktop)
just stop/start the BENT services. The warning should go away after
that.
