Bob, I agree with you fully.
Bob, I agree with you fully.

I have had users backing up gigabytes of unneeded stuff
and wondering what´s going on.
This "feature" does  not break anything,
but fills expensive storage media
and costs time, thus money.
And - it IS condratictory to the aim of OPT file / domain entry..

As for voice which claimed users should not be
allowed to backup their files themselves - well,
let us allow ADSM be used in different scenarios.
For the ability to backup local data is one of the major
reasons for using ADSM at all.
