Backup server on different domains using the SQL Agent

[frdba]

I need to be able to backup databases that are located in a different domain than my arcserve backup server. Am I able to do this?

I can create a backup and connect to the server, but the MSSQL icon does not show up in the arcserve browser. The SQL Agent is installed(has been reinstalled also), the RPC service is started(has been stopped and started also). I have my SQL instance set up to accept mixed security, the Brightstor SQL Agent is set to SQL authentication.

Any idea what I am missing or need to do?
Thanks

I figured it out. I only had the SQL agent loaded, I did not have the client agent installed on the target machine. Then I was trying to create a connection under the preferred shares\machines instead of under windows NT\2000\XP Systems.

So I loaded the client agent, and created a connection under the Windows NT\2000\XP Systems section and was able to see the Microsoft SQL Server icon and select the dbs.
