There is no mechanism in ADSM for a "trustees only restore".  Yes,
this is an excellent idea but it's just not in the product at this time.

My only advice is that you ensure that the NDS is properly replicated, so
you don't have to worry about restoring any part of the tree ...  If you
can fathom a scenario where the ENTIRE NDS is lost (replicas and all), you
can probably count on restoring the volumes anyway (since those would be
lost as well ... )

I am aware that there are other non-disaster scenarios where 'trustee
only restore' would be benificial ... such as restoring a single user/
group.
