Remote agent problem on 8.6

[Zelandakh]

Getting an "unable to initialize Remote Agent for Windows NT/2000 - performing standard backup" error. Running 8.6 just shipped from Veritas.

Where do I look? It backs the data up fine at 230MB / minute and seems to do the job right.

You probably are trying to do a backup of a remote W2k or NT system without having a remote agent installed on that remote machine. I don't think it's causing problems if you're just backing up files but we have a remote agent installed now. You need to purchase this 'Remote Agent for NT or W2k'

You can find the 'how to install remote agent for NT/W2k' here:

I had the same problem... and yes a remote agent is installed on the server.

Looked the technet from veritas and after a long search there was a stuppid solution but it solved the problem...

Just edit all the backup jobs and set the backup priority to normal or low and the error dissapears....
