Matthew:
 
Thanks for your posts.  Yes, it would be OK to restore existing files but I 
don't think there will be a need for scheduled restores.  Also, my client is 
going to be creating the management class for the workstations affected by this.

How would sessioninitiation=serveronly hurt client restore sessions?

Would you need to schedule restores to occur from the server end? - I am
thinking that restores of exisiting files would be fine in Brian's case?

Brian - Matthew Warren's posting advised on the most natural way to
achieve this,
         via TSM policy settings for Inactive file versions.

Another, indirect way to achieve the goal is to have backups performed
only
via client schedules, with SCHEDMODe PRompted, and do
  UPDate Node ___ SESSIONITITiation=SERVEROnly , to disallow
client-initiated
sessions.
