Backup Exec 11d Remote Agent on Windows Server 2012

hi

currently we are using Backup Exec 11d and make a backup of a Windows 2003 Server.
For this we are using the Backup Exec 11d remote agent on the w2k3 server.
The backup includes the w2k3 system and data files.

Now we want to upgrade the server from 2003 to windows 2012 r2 (64 bit).

Will the Backup Exec 11d remote agent run on the new windows 2012 server?
If not, is it still possible to backup the 2012 server without the remote agent?
Special features and backup of some server system stuff is not so important.
It would be sufficent if the backup of the pure data files would work. Is that possible
without the remote agent?
