Are you asking how to move the agent in in Backup Exec (I think this is what you are asking) or the a backup agent you have in SQL?
The agents for Backup Exec (i.e., SQL, Exchange, etc.) are installed on the media server, not on the server that is running the application. All you need to do is uninstall the standard remote agent software on the old SQL server and install it on the new SQL server and you're all set.
BTW, the remote agents are installed from the media server. On the media server, open Backup Exec and, depending on your version, you go to the Installation menu and choose to install agents on other servers. Follow the wizard - it will walk you through selecting the SQL server name, adding the credentials for installation (i.e., administrator credentials for the server where you're installing the agent), etc.
