Changing Windows security to back up servers (only) in one domain

You can change Windows security to give the Backup Exec service account administrative rights in the appropriate domains and workstations. You must grant the Backup Exec service account administrative rights to give Backup Exec access to the administrative shares (for example, C$) and the ability to protect the Windows registry.
