Notes:

1) The registry settings mentioned affect only how the Backup Exec for Windows Servers Remote Agent queries for new or changed Domino databases but does not change how those databases get backed up.
2) If the Remote Agent Service has crashed, in some cases the Domino Server console will show repeated entries of Process C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\RAWS\belnapi.exe (3632/0xE30) has terminated abnormally. While these entries are harmless, they can be eliminated if desired. To clear these errors from occurring on the Domino console, Domino server will need to be restarted.
