The virtualization blogosphere and Twitter universe are all buzzing about the great mystery that is upon us!  No, we aren't trying to find the meaning of Stonehenge or figure out who built the Great Pyramid of Giza... we aren't that deep.  Instead, we are currently chasing the light surrounding the mystery around what is Veeam SureBackup?  Telling a blogger that something cool is coming in a few weeks is like taunting an animal at the zoo with food.  We want it, and we want it now!  Unfortunately, we still have a few more days until we figure out what Veeam is up to with SureBackup.

Doug Hazelman from Veeam gives us a little more background on what's coming:

SureBackup is NOT a new product. We’re using SureBackup to describe a set of features, some are new, some are already in place. We’re going to be introducing other terms as well that will include new features as well as existing ones. All of these features will be delivered as part of Veeam Backup & Replication version 5.0.

So why all the fuss about SureBackup? Because in my view, what we’re going to be introducing is truly the most exciting technology I’ve seen in the past 10 years. Will it change the way you look at VMware backups forever? I think so, but I’ll have to leave that up to you. In fact, there are many, many uses for what we’re introducing and I know we haven’t even thought of them all yet.

Veeam Backup & Replication 5.0 is not a new platform, it won’t require a rip-and-replace for existing Veeam Backup & Replication 4.x customers. I’ve stated that before but I wanted to make sure everyone is clear on this as the last thing I want to do is prevent anyone from purchasing 4.x today.

Want to be in the know?  Only a few more days left until the anticipation gets resolved.  If you, like me, need to be in the know sooner than later, go sign up to get the early sneak peak about Veeam SureBackup before the everyday man or woman is told.  It isn't too late to register.
