This issue has been solved. See solution.
Can I install BE on the Exchange server? or do I have to just install the agent on the Exchange Server and the BE Program on a different server?
Apologize for the silly question. I am new to BE.
TY!!

Both can be done.
You can either install Backup Exec on the Exchange server or install Backup Exec on a different machine and install Remote Agent for Windows System (RAWS) on the Exchange Server.
Second option is recommended though... i.e. install Backup Exec on a different machine and RAWS on Exchange server to backup the database.

It is best to install Exchange on a seperate server than Backup Exec. The Backup Exec server may require more frequent rebooting which isnt practicle for an Exchange server in a production environment .It is also best practice to install Exchange on a server that is not a Domain Controller. Take look at the Best Practices for the Exchange Agent. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO74428
Once Backup Exec is installed on a server then you would push the remote agent to whatever server Exchange is installed on. see here for more information http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO74428
