Hey dude, entirely possible...I drew up a document for our site reps to use this when we removed their admin rights.

  1. Launch Browser.exe from the installation location for your site, and click Next.
  2. Choose “Start the Backup Exec Installation”, and click Next.
  3. Click Next, accept the License Agreement, and click Next again.
  4. At the Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers Install Menu, make sure Local Install is selected, and Install Remote Administration Console Only will be the only option available under that. Click Next.
  5. Leave the Destination Folder as is for the installation path, and click Next.
  6. Choose Install.
  7. Click Finish after deselecting all the other options when the installation completes.
  8. Open up your Remote Console on your laptop/desktop...it's going to look exactly the same as BEWS on that server.
  9. Change the name of the server to your backup server, and then input your service account details to log on.

Hope this helps?

Yep use Remoet Admin Console

Yep use Remote Admin Console as per Craig-V answer - but be aware that you probably can't use it on Windows 7 yet
