Question : Problem: Backup exec 10 - Unable to initialize Remote Agent error when backing up a workgroup pc from a domain server?

I recently added a job to an overnight backup. The job is to backup 3 folders from a workgroup based pc from backup exec 10 installed on a server joined to a domain.
The domain server install of backup exec seems fine and backs up all jobs. If I hit the restore button after the job I can see that the job run and an index is present for a restore.
In the job history it displays the message below, before each job to the workgroup machine runs:
 
The Media Server was unable to connect to Remote Machine DEVELOPMENT.
The Media Server will fall back on the local agent to try and complete the operation.
WARNING: Media servers cannot completely protect remote
Windows-based servers or workstations unless the Backup
Exec Remote Agent is installed
and running on each remote Windows-based server or
workstation to be protected. Data loss can occur if the
Remote Agent is not running
while backing up remote Windows-based computers.

Please refer to the documentation or online help for more information.
Unable to initialize Remote Agent


How do I install the remote agent to this machine if it is needed?
