Hi,
To get rid of the problem you have to do the following:
First download the Backup Exec media again and install Media Download Locations:
1. Backup Exec 2010 R2 https://www4.symantec.com/Vrt/offer?a_id=91523
2. Symantec File Connect : https://fileconnect.symantec.com/LangSelection.jsp
Is it helpful? I think it will be helpful for you.
Thanks for asking.

This may be due to some drivers not being installed in the right directory or it can also be due to the new version of Backup Exec. What you need to do is:
1. Click start icon then click Run
2. A window will appear, and then type regedit
3. Look for these keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services ->VirtFile
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> DIFx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> DIFxApp
4. Make a back up by clicking File then click the tab Export
5. Click select all then save in format of .reg
6. Remove/Delete the keys you found previously
7. Restart application
8. Install the needed drivers for Windows
