Hello,
In a way, we are responsible for build, upkeep and troubleshoot, 
monitoring of this servers any way,  i would worry about the impact of 
stray recoveries that don't get cleaned up or worse people overwriting 
production data without adequate knowledge of Networker recoveries & there 
is also concern about securing the data, therefore, we are completely 
responsible for all recoveries, someday, i would like helpdesk to do 
directed recoveries, however, ongoing training for personal could be more 
challenging  if the staffing fluctuates.
Thanks

You do restores for systems that you don't manage? Interesting. What 
we do here is require each system manager to know how to restore data 
and we encourage them to test restores at least quarterly.
