The support matrix lists all the configurations and versions currently supported by SEP sesam and SEP IT-Save. SEP sesam automatically detects your environment's hardware configuration. Note that SEP sesam only recognizes storage devices known or listed by the operating system, such as OS where the Master Server/Remote Device Server will be installed. For details, see Storage Hardware page.

SEP sesam Backup Servers and Clients

Versions older than 4.4: For each operating system the latest SEP sesam version is listed, thus ensuring that the listed version works with 4.4 SEP sesam Server. For example, a SLES7 running version 3.4 of a SEP sesam Client will be backed up by a SEP sesam Server version 4.4.2. There will be no development for versions prior to 4.4; however the support and bug fixes are still available.

It is recommended to upgrade the SEP sesam server and client components to the latest version during the regular upgrade process (check the list of SEP sesam release versions). This ensures the highest possible protection of the SEP sesam Clients. Customers with a valid license are eligible for a free SEP sesam upgrade for any new release until the end of the license term. Before upgrading your SEP sesam environment, check the support matrix and compatibility.
