Backup service authentication question

Hello,

I have a fairly small Exchange 2003 installation. My HQ site has a single
Exchange 2k3 BE server. The HQ site is connected to 3 other remote sites
via a mesh network. Each of those sites has a local Exchange 2k3 BE server.

I use BackupExec 11d for my backups. I recently noticed that if my Exchange
server in the HQ site is unavailable, the Exchange backups in the remote
sites fail in connecting to the resource. It appears like an authentication
issue. When the main site comes back on line, backups can run again without
issue.

Each site has at least one 2k3 domain controller as well as a local
BackupExec media server. AD sites and services is properly setup and all
authentication occurs locally without traversing the WAN.

Can someone please explain this authentication "scenario" to me and if there
is a way to configure it to prevent remote site backup issues when the HQ
site is unvailable.

Thanks!
Troy
