I am waiting until we get our infrastructure to vSphere 4.0 and NBU 7 to
do vStorage backups which seem to be da bomb digity. All the ducks just
got lined up in a row for this just recently, but I'll still wait until
June to make sure nothing comes out in the field from other people. 
DataDomain's DDBoost just came out which is their new OST plugin which
supports NBU 7. It also does some media server side de-duplication
processing which I am hoping leads the way to global de-dupe and client
side de-dupe.
