Veritas-backup network shares problem

I have a server running veritas 9.1 with a qualstar tape library attached. Why can't I backup network shares on different computers on the network? Do I have to buy a special license or what? When I go to the computer, all the shares are greyed out and wont let me click on them.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply guys. The reason I have not installed the remote agents is because I am unable to push them to the machine. The machine is an old NT4 box and Veritas gives a windows installer problem from the veritas window. I figured you would not need a remote agent to backup shares but maybe I am wrong. This is nothing but a directory with text files. Any other ideas ?

Thanks.

Did you try mapping those shares before backing up?

I think a split
