Nothing, it's a policy challenge if they has TSM Sys Admin rights.  Kind
of like a Cop that sells evidence or takes a bribe, a priest that
protects the young ... at some point you have to trust your admin or
fire them.  In my exp a node pw can be overridden with a Sys admin user
and pw.

Maybe I over simplified the situation.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Can a TSM server admin purloin client backups?

This question came up again here. If a TSM admin with system
authorization knows the client password for a certain TSM node, what
keeps him from restoring files from that node to another server of his
choosing?

Sorry to resuscitate this old horse.

With many thanks,
Keith
