But, will it be available for the existing appliances already out there,
"the Cobalt Qube, Cobalt Cache, Cobalt RaQ, and Cobalt NASRaQ" (all flavours
thereof)?  This might be suggested by the paragraph quoted below, that
refers to the "full line of server appliances":

"The integration of VERITAS Software's data availability solutions with
Cobalt's full line of server appliances will give Cobalt customers a
distinct advantage in terms of ease of ownership, high-performance backup
and restore, and the reliability VERITAS Software and Cobalt customers have
come to depend on," said Mark Orr, vice president, business development and
co-founder, Cobalt.

But a few paragraphs further down seems to restrict it to new RaQs:
"Under this agreement, the VERITAS NetBackup client and VERITAS Backup Exec
client will ship with Cobalt's RaQ 3 and RaQ 4 server appliances."

Will the rest of us have to struggle on with the existing backup/restore
facilities?
