As you may have already heard, we announced today that BakBone Software has entered into a definitive agreement under which it will be acquired by Quest Software. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2011, subject to approval by our shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Quest, Quest is a top five IT systems management company that simplifies and reduces the cost of managing IT for more than 100,000 customers worldwide. Quest provides management solutions for virtualized systems, Windows, applications, and databases, enabling its customers to save time and money across physical, virtual and now, cloud environments. Much like BakBone, Quest is fully committed to the success of its customers.

Following the completion of the acquisition, BakBone products will become key components of Quest’s robust suite of data protection solutions. We believe the Quest and BakBone data protection products are highly complementary with minimal overlap. Quest intends to continue and enhance BakBone’s development and support of its NetVault solutions.

It’s important for you to know that there will be no change to your contracts, and you will continue to work directly with your BakBone representative or consultant. Both development and support will continue to be top priorities for the combined BakBone and Quest teams following the completion of the acquisition. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with you, as well as further enhancements to the products over time based on your valuable feedback.

The executive leadership from both companies will be collaborating on the strategic integration of our products and employees, and we will announce the product roadmap during the first quarter of 2011, following the completion of the acquisition. Please be assured that technical excellence and on-going customer support will be at the forefront of our minds as our two organizations work together.

Best regards,
