This issue is fixed in Backup Exec 2012 with Service Pack 1a (TECH186717)

WORKAROUND:

1. Move all the old .DR files from the current DR file location to an alternate location.

                                                        OR

2. Change the DR path manually from ‘Configuration and Settings -> Backup Exec Settings -> Simplified
Disaster Recovery -> Disaster recovery data path (<BE Install>\SDR\Data)
