I am running win NT 4.0 with backup exec 6.1 and win 98 workstations. The workstations have the correct backup exec agent installed and running but the server is not recognizing them. all workstations are visable on the network but the backup program cannot see them.
 
Not sure...I am much more familiar with ARCSERVE backup software. But you should check the version of Backup Exec and verify that it is capable of backing up remote machines. In arcserve they have two basic version of the server backup software. One is called single server (this can not perform remote backups) and the other is called Workgroup edition..this one can perform remote backups.

I have checked this the server verson is capable of performing this operation.
Thanks for the info.
