Daniel,
It's correct that Accelerator Agent is only available on NT machine.
Correct that you have to used Entreprise Edition to backup several
Server.
If you are running Evaluation Version all Module are available. When I
buyed BENT I forgot to buy Autoloader Module. I didn't say that it
doesn't work if you don't install it (I never tryed). Seagate Software
France said to me that to run ADSM Module I have to install Autolader
Module. May be they wrong ?!

Bye
Eric.
