Hi,
In my opinion there may be a mismatch betwn remote agent version and backup
exec ver.
Do try this steps it may help:
1. check the version of remote agent, to do this:
--go to windows explorer,
-- browse to the directory 'Install\RANT32'
--Right-click setup.exe and choose Properties
--Select the Version tab and see the remote agent version

2. Push Install Remote Agent
--Browse to the location where Backup Exec 9.0 revision 4454 has been extracted.

--Within the containing folder (this folder will vary depending on where
the files were extracted to) explore to WINNT\INSTALL\RANT32 folder
--Select VERITAS Backup Exec for Windows Servers.MSI
--Copy this file to the install path, C:\Program Files\Veritas\Backup Exec\NT\Agents\RANT32.
When the Confirm File Replace dialog box appears, click Yes
--These steps will ensure that the correct version of VERITAS Backup Exec
for Windows Servers.MSI is installed and that proper push
or silent installs of the

The versions of backup exec and the remote agents are the same.
So this is not the solution.
