Thanks for the answer and good point, btw it´s not my file, it is some HR 
data... The customer is worried about who can restore data/alter the logs if we 
are able to produce them etc etc.

The only people who can restore are people who can log into your machine, and 
they can only restore files they can write.  I'm confused about why I shouldn't 
be able to restore one of my files.

I'm poking that question because it feels like you're asking TSM to enforce a 
security restriction you haven't been able to enforce locally on the box.  
Trying to prevent root@yourbox from restoring something sounds like a tall 
order.

I haven't found a happy method.  Consider, the logging there could be Really 
Extensive.  I don't want to list somebody's 3-million filenames in my TSM 
serverlog.
