Re: [Veritas-bu] Disable alternate client restores

Actually, you can prevent the Master from writing to a particular client:

Of course, that doesn't actually address the issue I have...which I don't think has a solution outside of removing the client in question from NBU. But I had to ask :)

Running 6.5.1, have been asked if it's possible to restrict the Master server from restoring a particular client's images to alternate clients. I know we can restrict one client from restoring another client's data; I know I can prevent the Master from writing to a particular client. What I haven't been able to determine is if I can keep the Master from writing clientA's data to clientB.

If you are the admin on the master, you can do whatever you want. You can't prevent the master from writing to a particular client of that master. There really isn't such a thing as "clientA's data" - it's just data that's cataloged for a specific client but by no means is it "owned" by a particular client. The master could restore it to any client, including itself. It could read it without using NetBackup.

Don't annoy the backup admin :-)
