SEP Software, Corp., Boulder, CO, announces the release of SEP sesam version 3.6, including support of Microsoft Hyper-V.

Boulder, CO, Nov 6, 2009 - SEP announces the newest release of its award-winning backup and recovery software, SEP sesam V 3.6. New features include Hyper-V support, improved GUI with a new look, easier command line availability, automated data migration and archival and powerful new search algorithms to speed up backup and recovery of data in both simple and complex DataCenter environments.

"Our new tools for Microsoft Hyper-V and volume shadow copy service (VSS) set a level of functionality never seen at this price point. We continually strive to improve our product and provide a rich product set for large DataCenters  for all popular operating systems, this release highlights our efforts to meet the demand from the Microsoft community, significantly increasing the functionality for users," reported Georg Moosreiner, SEP GM.

New Features Overview:

* Command line interface enhancements - Rapid Backup Strategy Deployment (RBSD)
The new command line interface is significant improvement over the last version. Quite remarkable for a product already among the very best in the backup software community. RBSD allows for the system-wide, enterprise-wide roll-out in DataCenter environments simplifying corporate backup strategies and automating the propagation of new backup configurations, saving time and money.

* Automated Data Migration and Archival - Enhancements make data migration to different media, or the creation of copies for data archival, simple and easy. Especially useful when combining incremental backups to a single media; transferring data from disk to tape; or when transferring data from an older technology to new backup format (e.g. LT03 to LT04 tapes).

* New Search Filters - New filter technology provides system administrators with enhanced tools to easily define searches and store them speeding the look-up and restore of required data files. Backup and restore transfer rates can exceed 400 GB/hr in Linux and Unix environments.

* Microsoft  Windows 2008 online backup - SEP now supports (VSS) for online backup of Windows 2008 R2. SEP backup transfer speeds can exceed 360GB/hr for Windows 2008 on a single data stream.

* Microsoft Hyper-V support - SEP sesam can now backup Microsoft HyperV virtualized environments.

"Combining our newest Hyper-V support with the our VMware ESX virtualization delivers one of the most comprehensive backup solutions in the virtual world today," stated Tim Wagner, president of SEP Software, Corp., Boulder, CO. "SEP modules make it possible to backup the complete running virtual environment. Further, our pending release of the connector for XEN online backup XEN disaster recovery should be a welcome tool for the Linux world's virtual infrastructure," Wagner added.
