BUGFIX: (#34720) STPD http cuts off long 'sbc_com' requests
BUGFIX: (#34733) Orphaned Sesam snapshots on XenServer - Implemented new function force_delete_vdi_snapshot() It executes if a Sesam VDI snapshot deletion fails during regular snapshot cleanup with error VDI_IN_USE. The function checks for VBDs related to the troubling snapshot and removes them, then it deletes the snapshot. To fix the most likely root cause of orphaned snapshots, increased timeout loop in remove_snapshot_data() from 300 to 1200 seconds. In big systems with a lot of data changed under snapshot it take a long time to delete snapshot data so in such case snapshot data was not deleted and lead to this error.
BUGFIX: (#34735) Xen Server backup using source side deduplication: Set correct backup interface for sub tasks started by 'sbc_com'. Client version of data mover has to be checked instead of Xen client, where usually no Sesam client is installed
CHANGE: (#29025) Change name of Si3 related 'gv_*' variables in 'sm_sms_watch'
BUGFIX: (#34502) Backup of Nutanix AHV may hang. Added timeout of 60 seconds to Nutanix HTTP calls to Nutanix server
BUGFIX: (#34724) Fixed Nutanix fallback to full backup if reference snapshot file cannot be read. After the error on file read, fallback to full was set but could not be executed because CBT files were not read for full backup. Moved reading of reference snap file in new separate function read_snaps_file() and execute it before storeCbtInformation(). If it fails, change backup level to full and storeCbtInformation() will generate CBT files as for regular full backup
CHANGE: (#34737) - Enforce flat hierarchy for existing data mover groups
Revert "BUGFIX: (#33240) Relocation dialog for MS-SQL restore is empty if mismatch in hostname between LIS and source. Solution: Ignore case when browsing LIS for backup type 'MS SQL Server'. Defaults 'sm_conf_mssql_case_sensitive' allows to override."
BUGFIX: (#34618) Ignore UTF-8 encoding errors during processing of LIS file for 'MS-Exchange'

BUGFIX: (#34475) Sesam must wait if another vzdump or another backup for the same VM is running and continue when the other task completes - Added additional semaphore for VZDUMP lock. It is locked before VM lock is backup is via vzdump. There was implemented an API based check for vzdump run, but API is not safe for race condition so replaced it with semaphore lock

BUGFIX: (#34635) MS SQL Server: If full and log backups are running at the same time, the log backup chain is extended. Solution: Use the output of the Log Sequence Numbers
