Item 1.    Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment No. 3") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on June 9, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on July 27, 2009, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on September 22, 2009 (the "Original Schedule 13D" and as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 3, the "Schedule 13D")), on behalf of (1) VantagePoint Venture Partners IV (Q), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("VPVP IV Q"), (2) VantagePoint Venture Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("VPVP IV"), (3) VantagePoint Venture Partners IV Principals Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership  ("VPVP Principals IV" and together with VPVP IV Q and VPVP IV, the "VantagePoint Funds," and each, a "VantagePoint Fund"), (4) VantagePoint Venture Associates IV, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (together with the VantagePoint Funds, the "VantagePoint Entities"), (5) James D. Marver, and (6) Alan E. Salzman (Messrs. Marver and Salzman, together with the VantagePoint Entities, the "Reporting Persons") relating to the common stock, no par value (the "Comm on Stock"), including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, no par value (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), of BakBone Software Incorporated, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada (the "Issuer"), with its principal executive office at 9540 Towne Center Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92121.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

On November 8, 2010, each VantagePoint Fund entered into a voting and support agreement (each, an "Arrangement Voting Agreement" and collectively, the "Arrangement Voting Agreements") with Quest Software, Inc. ("Quest") and Bolts Acquisition Corporation ("Acquisition Sub"), in connection with the execution of the Arrangement Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2010, by and among Quest, Acquisition Sub and the Issuer (the "Arrangement Agreement"). The Arrangement Agreement contemplates, upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified therein, the acquisition by Quest, through Acquisition Sub, of all the outstanding equity securities of the Issuer pursuant to a "plan of arrangement" (the "Arrangement") under Canadian law.  The two directors elected to the Issuer's board of directors by the VantagePoint Funds abstained from voting on all matters related to the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement.

The Arrangement Voting Agreements require each VantagePoint Fund to, among other things, vote all of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock held by such VantagePoint Fund in favor of resolutions to be considered by the Issuer's security holders at a meeting held to approve the Arrangement (the "Arrangement Resolutions").  In addition, pursuant to the Arrangement Voting Agreements, among other things, the VantagePoint Funds may not transfer their shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock nor may they, from and after the date thereof and for a period of 24 months following the Effective Date (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement), own, purchase or acquire any shares, partnership interests, loans, in debtedness, or any other form of securities (including options) in Quest, Acquisition Sub or certain of their affiliates.

Each Arrangement Voting Agreement automatically terminates on the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the date upon which the Arrangement is completed; (ii) the date upon which the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (iii) the date upon which Quest, Acquisition Sub and the VantagePoint Fund mutually agree by written instrument to terminate the Arrangement Voting Agreement.

On November 8, 2010, the VantagePoint Funds entered into an agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with the Issuer, pursuant to which, among other things, the VantagePoint Funds agreed, upon consummation of the Arrangement, to receive cash consideration equal to US $1.291667 per each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by the VantagePoint Funds in lieu of the US $1.49475 (CDN $1.50) per share amount that the VantagePoint Funds otherwise would be entitled to receive with respect to their Series A Preferred Stock upon the consummation of such Arrangement pursuant to the Issuer's charter documents (assuming an exchange rate of CDN $1.002900 to US $1.00, as quoted by WM/Reuters on November 8, 2010). The Settlement Agreement al so provides for mutual general releases between the Issuer and the VantagePoint Funds and other persons associated with them. The Settlement Agreement is terminable by the VantagePoint Funds upon any amendment of the Arrangement Agreement  to alter the amount of any consideration payable thereunder and certain other matters, upon the termination of the settlement agreement and general release of claims dated as of November 8, 2010, among the Issuer, JK&B Capital IV, JK&B Capital IV QIP and Tom Neustaetter, individually and in his capacity as attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the ColdSpark Shareholders (as defined therein), or automatically upon any termination of the Arrangement Agreement.

Copies of the Arrangement Voting Agreements are filed as Exhibits 99.6, 99.7 and 99.8 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference into this Item 4 as if set out herein in full.  A copy of the Settlement Agreement has been filed by the Issuer with its current report on Form 8-K filed on November 10, 2010 and is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 4 as Exhibit 99.9 as if set out herein in full. The foregoing summaries of the Arrangement Voting Agreements and the Settlement Agreement are qualified by reference to the full text thereof.
