I assume you're talking about Veritas NetBackup, but I can't help you
with the rest since I don't do full system backups with NetBackup,
only the important stuff.  Also, I installed the FreeBSD backup agent
from the distribution CD-ROM, not via a push from the server (which
happens to be NT).  RSH is a dangerous thing anyway.  If things
stopped working after an upgrade to 4.6-PRERELEASE, check the
following:

1) You have the compat3x libs installed.  The agent is a FreeBSD 3.x
executable and needs the FreeBSD 3.x libs.

2) The entries in inetd.conf are correct (and in /etc/services).
   Incidentally, those should be:
bpcd   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd bpcd
vopied stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vopied vopied
bpjava-msvc    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpjava-msvc bpjava-msvc -transient

3) Inetd is actually running (inetd was defaulted to OFF for a while).

4) Nothing in /etc/hosts.allow is preventing access to the backup
services by the backup server.

5) No ipfw rules are preventing access to the backup services by the
backup server.
