SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to add the ARCserve backup agent by Cheyenne Software or Backup
Exec backup agent by Arcadia Software, the backup agents may be missing from the

backup agents are not included with the floppy disk version of Windows 95.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods:

- Contact the manufacturers of the backup software to inquire about the
