Hi mate,

I have not seen any roadmap for BE recently.

I would suggest sending a PM to Colin_Weaver to see if they can share some info on this.

    I have no details to provide against any current roadmap or plans for BE support of Sharepoint 2016.

    The KB articles relating to certain feature packs and hotfixes will have provided details of when we have added new platform/application support. (Exchange CUs etc) - which you might have not been aware of.

    We have also done a soft release of Backup (20) which has a new deduplication technology as part of feature changes. That release is a soft release (not heavily marketted) as it also is only available for subscription licensing and has no licensing upgrade option. We plan to do a more complete release with more licensing & upgrade choices and potentially more enhancements  for sometime next year. You will find there are some documents relating to Backup Exec (20)  in the documents area of our support webpages.
