BESR 2010 and SharePoint

This issue has been solved. See solution.

In the 'New Features' section about BESR 2010, I see:

"Granular Restore Option – now included with the core product at no additional costRestore granular items such as Exchange email, SharePoint documents or files and folders in seconds from a single interface."

Is this option still limited to only being able to back up only a single-server farm, as it was in 8.x??

This feature is only useful if it can back up a multi-server Sharepoint farm, the commonest setup.

Unless there's some magic in BESR 2010 that I don't yet know about. We have not yet received our upgrade announcement etc.

Thank you, Tom

Disappointing news...but

Disappointing news...but I know multi-server farms are not a trivial thing to backup.
My understanding is that SharePoint 2010 will have this feature OOB...but it may be years before we can upgrade. :)
Thank you, Tom
