hi,

I have never used SQL-Backtrack.  If you want to evaluate the ADSM Connect
agent, you can down load it free for 60 days from:
www.ibm.com/storage/software/adsm/addown.htm

In order to use the connect agent, you will have to install Enterprise Backup
Utility for O7.  O8 comes with Recovery Manager(RMAN) which you don't need to
install separately.

regards,
Thiha
