Does SEP sesam require identical versions of SEP sesam Client and Server?

To avoid general version compatibility issues, the following rules apply:

  • the version of SEP sesam Server must be greater than or equal to the version of SEP sesam RDS.
  • the version of SEP sesam Server must be greater than or equal to the version of the SEP sesam Clients.

These rules are especially important when performing an upgrade of your environment. First upgrade the SEP sesam Server, then the RDS components, and last the Clients.

Forward and backward compatibility is maintained for all backup types that have not been discontinued. If you require restore/recovery of savesets for discontinued backup types, you can use old SEP sesam version that still supports that backup type.

What happens after a SEP sesam version is no longer supported?

Discontinued versions of SEP sesam can still be used, but they are no longer maintained, SEP AG no longer provides updates or fixes for those versions. Maintenance period for a version is generally 12 months (this depends on your license type), after this period SEP AG strongly recommends upgrading your SEP sesam Server and RDS components.

On older platforms that are still available, SEP strongly recommends to use only Client packages, and to combine such clients with the latest SEP sesam Server and RDS components. Backward compatibility is maintaned for discontinued Client versions, that are still used for older (outdated) platform versions.

Why does the W008-License TCPIP address not match the local address 127.0.0.2?

This problem usually occurs on SLES-based Linux systems. Check the file /etc/hosts and change the relevant entry for the loopback address 127.0.0.2 or remove it from the /etc/hosts file entirely.
