In our engineering lab we have been actively testing working with the release candidate of Windows 7. As a result of that our 3.12.5.5 client has been tested and found compatible with Windows 7.

For BackupAgent, the basic required compatibility test by Microsoft is only the starting point for full support of a new operating system. In our labs we have over 200 tests which we will fire off to our software running on this new platform. Based on those results we will work on full support for Windows 7 in the next months for planned releases of our Online Backup Client. Once we have established full support, our partners can benefit from the fact that it matches Microsoft’s own requirements for compatibility, just as it does for Windows Vista and XP.
