Just for clarification, what new features does vSphere 5 have in the
data protection realm? vSphere 4 introduced changed block tracking (CBT)
which revolutionized incremental backup. What does 5 have to offer? Not
that I'm bashing Veeam, I think they make a fine product. I'm just
wondering what feature is worth installing an alternate backup product?

Ok thanks, but thats the problem .... the VM upgrade wont wait, which
means Symantec lose out.
I really am amazed they are not ready for it, after all if Veeam are
ready, who seem to be an alternative to NBU, why are Symantec not ready?

Its a real shame!

Support for ESX 5 will be available in 7.1.0.3.  This support will be
parity support, meaning that the features supported in ESX 4 will be
supported, none of the new features introduced in ESX 5 will be
supported, those should be in 7.5.
