You won't be able to connect using Vertias, as they require a remote agent to use their software to connect ot other computers. You may be able to use the native backup utility using the tape drive on the local computer.

on win2000 you would have to use the Native backup &nbsp;utility and have the tape backup drivers installed so the system can read the device.<br />

I have had to move a tape drive temporarily from one W2K server (with Veritas Backup Exec installed) to another,<br />
the server I have just put it in does not have Veritas Installed.<br />
Do I need to install Veritas on this server to perform backups, or can i connect to the tape drive on this server from veritas on the other server?<br />
How do i do this?<br />
Hope that makes sense

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
