Remote Agent for Windows Servers - 32 bit
After installing this Hotfix to the Backup Exec 10.1 (10d) media server, install the Remote Agent for Windows Servers (RAWS) to all of the remote computers protected by Backup Exec by following the Remote Agent for Windows Servers installation procedure in the Backup Exec Administrator's Guide, found below in the Related Documents section. If RAWS is installed on a SAP R/3 computer, or on a x64 bit computer or 64 bit (Itanium) computer, see the Special Installation Instructions below.

Remote Agent for Windows Servers (RAWS) - Extended 64 bit (x64)
After installing this hotfix to the Backup Exec 10.1 (10d) media server, you must reinstall the "Remote Agent for Windows Servers" to all x64 bit computers being protected by Backup Exec. To reinstall the Remote Agent, type the following from the x64 bit computer:
msiexec.exe /p "<path>\RAWS64EX.msp" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus
Note 1: <path> = path to the \Backup Exec\NT\Agents\RANT64EX directory on the Backup Exec media server
Note 2: This service pack can only patch previous installations of the Backup Exec Remote Agent x64 (it does not patch the original installation source files for the Remote Agent for x64 bit computers). This service pack places a "patch" file (RAWS64EX.msp) in the \Backup Exec\NT\Agents\RANT64EX directory on the media server. If installing the Backup Exec Remote Agent for x64 bit computers to additional x64 bit computers in the future, run the command above after the initial agent installation to install the patch.

This service pack places a "patch" file (RAWS64.msp) in the \Backup Exec\NT\Agents\RANT64 directory on the media server. If installing the Backup Exec Remote Agent for 64 bit computers to additional 64 bit computers in the future, run the command above after the initial agent installation to install the patch.
