Backup Exec 9.0 beeping continuously

I've got a Windows 2000 server with Backup Exec 9.0 with all the latest service packs and hotfixes. Backups and restores seem to work fine.

I had to do a bare bones restore using Veritas' Intelligent Disaster Recovery option. Everything seemed to restore just fine, but since then, every time Backup Exec does its DB maintenance, the server locks up. I reboot the server and it runs fine until the next scheduled DB maintenance.

I did all the DB repair, reindex, check consistancy, etc. functions in the BE Utility program. No errors anywhere, according to the server, everything is fine. I gave up and just decided I'd run the maintenance manually once a week.

The problem is that as long as the Backup Exec services are running, my server does a single beep every 15 seconds or so. I've checked BE error logs, Windows error logs, and SQL Server error logs. Nobody will tell me why the machine continually beeps. As soon as I shut off the BE services, the beeping goes away. I'm thinking the fact that I can't do an automated maintenance task and beeping are tied together somehow.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on where to go from here?

Thanks,
