Backup Exec Error

Getting this error message via Symantec Backup Exec. Can anyone help?
Final error: 0xe0001201 - For this operation, the Backup Exec Virtual File Filter (VFF) driver must be installed on the media server.  The VFF driver is installed when you install the Backup Exec Exchange Agent or the Active Directory Recovery Option.
Final error category: Resource Errors

After the re-install, I get a SQL error that I got before we moved the program to another box. This is the only error I'm getting. When we installed B.E., we created a new instance of SQL. Any thoughts?

detach and reattach the database for which you are getting the error.

How do I find out what DB is causing the issue? This box is running a few SQL instances, but looking at the names, none of them have slashes?...

2nd - where would I detach? In SQL? Backup Exec?

Thanks!

The only way I could get rid of this error was to re-install backup exec 2010. It happens that it was a license issue. Backup Exec was installed in evaluation mode, and then licensed without installing the Exchange Agent. the re-install worked and the virtual file filter is now active.
