The client agent though works most of the time, there will be occasions where it stops working for no reason at all. Troubleshooting the problem is a waste of time as nothing other than a reinstallation will resolve it.
The administration server tends to report that a backup process has failed on a client machine despite the backup completing without an error on the client side. 
Reported backed up data size is not always accurate on the administration server.
