Does Backup Exec Dump SQL Server Backups to disk first?

I need a solution

Over the weekend I was surprised to discover that Backup Exec was dumping our SQL Server databases.  What led me to this discovery was that we were out of space on the C drive on the production server.  This is bad.  

It looks as if BE dumps to disk first and then moves those dumps to tape.  Is this the case?  Since I already had another script doing database backups (but not to the C drive !!!), it's now not 100% clear what is doing what and why.  I'm not sure how BE works but I do not see any backup devices defined in SQL Server so I have concluded that it must dump to disk first.  But then I cannot see where I could change that behavior, maybe to dump to another drive.
