Business & High-Tech Editors

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2003

BakBone Software(TM) (OTCBB:BKBOF)(TSX:BKB), a global provider of storage management software, announced today that Holland and Hart, the largest legal firm in the Rocky Mountain West, selected NetVault(TM) to safeguard their data.

Scott Petersen, BakBone's vice president of North American sales said, "We're delighted to add a firm of Holland and Hart's prestige to our growing base of end users. As organizations grapple with more networked storage complexity, NetVault's ease of installation and deployment, in combination with some of the richest features for data backup and recovery available today, make for a compelling choice."

Holland and Hart, with 260 lawyers in 12 offices across seven states, provides legal counsel to individuals and companies globally. Having outgrown their current data storage environment, Holland and Hart required a storage solution that would simplify their backups into one single platform across their local and remote sites, as well as backup their Network Appliance filers. Holland and Hart worked with Xdata, a BakBone reseller and integration partner, to design a solution that would address their mixed server environment and multiple database applications.

"We realized that the storage solution prior to NetVault was not able to scale," said Evan Johnson, network operations manager, Holland and Hart. "We needed a backup solution that could meet our growing demands. With NetVault, scalability and flexibility were not an issue. We have also reduced the amount of time we spend managing our backup system five fold."

"NetVault was a logical choice for Holland and Hart," explained Tom Harrity, president of Xdata. "Holland and Hart not only needed a backup and recovery solution that would efficiently manage over 50 Microsoft Windows servers and two Network Appliance filers from their main data center, they also needed to backup 12 remote sites without overloading their wide-area network connection or their budget," he added.
