Any estimation on 6.1 release?

[cffit]

We just purchased VEEAM backup and I'm getting ready to implement. I had heard rumors that 6.1 might support backup to tape, so before I go through and set everything up I was going to wait for 6.1 to release and then go from there depending on whether it does support tape. Our Backup Exec support contract is also about to expire, so the renewing of that will depend on if VEEAM brings tape backup in.

I know tape backup is a very touchy and secret subject right now with VEEAM, but can anyone give me an estimate on when 6.1, regardless of whether it ends up supporting backup to tape or not, will be out? Withing the next 45 days? Not until mid summer? Or later? I just don't want to build out our VEEAM enviornment and renew our BE, then if 6.1 does support tape, have to reconfigure.

I read in another thread is expected Q2 2012, but there is no list about the features that will be included.

Just a rumor. Tape support was never planned for 6.1.
