Is there a way /application that I can use to administer backup exec without going to the server everytime?

Well, you can run Terminal Services on the Win2K server, and then just connect that way.
Or you can install a remote control program on the server, like pcAnywhere, RemoteAdmin, CarbonCopy, Netmeeting, etc. Run any of these programs on the server in host mode (that answers inbound connections). Then on your remote workstation, you fire up the same program, and connect to your server.

hope this helps

I believe if you take the Backup Exec CD and run the setup app on your PC, you'll be given an option to install the "Remote Administrator".

See the following URL:

look for section titled: "InstallingVeritas Backup Executive for Remote Administrator"

I think Netbios name resolution (WINS) needs to be running on the client PC (probably is).

Good luck!
