I am running the backupexec client on freebsd machines here at work.  The 
veritas  server is running on an old novell machine.  

you need to do the following:

edit /etc/rc.conf and insert  the line 
linux_enable="YES"

tar xvf the backupexec unix agent file

create the directory /usr/local/bkupexec

we are going to use agent.linux.

copy agent.cfg       agent.cfg.bak   agent.linux from the newly untarred 
bkupexec directory (or whatever it untars too I forgot) .. copy these files 
to  the /usr/local/bkupexec directory you created.

Edit /usr/local/bkupexec/agent.cfg

here is a sample of a working agent.cfg 

name tester
password blahblah
export /general as GENERAL include_remote
export /depot as DEPOT include_remote
export /Drawings as DRAWINGS include_remote
export /bob_home as BOB_HOME include_remote
export /brad_home as BRAD_HOME include_remote
export /michel_home as MICHEL_HOME include_remote
exclude_dir /proc
tell 201.201.2.9
tell 201.201.2.14
tell_interval 30
follow_symdirs
exclude_dir /proc

The first line is the name of the machine. 
the exported directories are directories on the tester machine which will show 
up in the veritas server under Unix Agents.  Don't forget to put 
include_remote to include the subdirectories.

tell 201.201.2.9  and tell 201.201.2.14 is letting the veritas servers be 
aware of us.

Edit /etc/services  and add the following

grfs			6101/tcp		#backup exec

Edit /etc/rc.local

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bkupexec/agent.linux -c /usr/local/bkupexec/agent.cfg > /dev/null
 

You'll have to enter root/blahblah from the veritas server.

Good Luck!
