Hello Steve
We have also been looking at this problem. In fact we asked a question
almost 3 years ago about this.
And yes all restores have to be done at the client. I believe that the
only things that can be done at the server are reg, delete filespace,
remove node. From the server you can set up things to happen from
a schedule.
I believe that there are two ways to do this after the ptf 6 was released.
1) Run the scheduler on the client and then build a custom schedule to
restore the files for the client. This requires the version 2
server and clients. Which is still not possible for some platforms.
( I hope version 3 is released in a smaller delta of time).
2) Run the webshell on the client and then you can use your web browser
to connect to the webshell program and do the restore.
Both methods would seem like a good way to have trojan horses if your
adsm security was compromised.
