SAN DIEGO, August 25, 2000 - Tony Cerqueira, Chief Executive Officer of BakBone Software (TSE: BKB, OTCBB: BKBOF), is quoted today as saying BakBone expects to become a leading force in the implementation of storage area network (SAN) LAN-free backup in the coming years. He made his comments during an interview with CEOcast.com.

Cerqueira based his comments on the reaction BakBone has received, following the North American launch of its NetVault™ storage management software. The formal launch occurred earlier this month; since then, NetVault and BakBone have received favorable mention in publications ranging from Federal Computer Week and InfoStor to Dow Jones News Service Computer Reseller News.

"CEOcast.com recognizes that SANs will play a key role in companies' data storage strategies," said Ken Sgro, CEOCast's analyst, who conducted the interview with Cerqueira. "Its NetVault storage management software, which enables companies to easily implement and benefit from SANs, makes BakBone Software the kind of firm that we believe our listeners will want to know more about."

Leading industry analysts estimate that sales of backup and restore software will grow to $5.7 billion (US) by the year 2004. The entire storage management market is expected to exceed more than $14.5 billion (US) by that time.

Cerqueira described NetVault as a beneficial "disruptive technology," saying it dramatically enables companies to approach the design and implementation of SANs with increased ease and simplicity. He also reconfirmed BakBone's commitment to the reseller channel, adding that resellers already possess established relationships with end-users.
