I am having a hard time figuring out how to provide security for backup
up files on HP workstations.  I can, as a normal user, launch dsm
and restore anyone's files to my directory, even if I had no read access
to them before they were backed up. I notice that the option menu of dsm
lists me as user id: root <virtual>.  Isn't there a way to prevent all
users from having access to any files that are archived or backed up? I
am unable to find an option for dsm.sys or dsm.opt that connects me
as user id: "me" instead of root.  Obviously the client node password
is useless if the command to do scheduled backups is:
"dsmc schedule -password=guesswhat" Any suggestions?
