Shlomit,

You should be able to accomplish what you want with the current product
as follows:

1. Define a policy domain with a management class that does not contain
   any backup copy group.

2. Register the users who you wish to restrict from doing backups into
   that domain.

3. Register the user(s) who will be doing all the backups into a different
   policy domain that has a management class with an appropriate backup
   copy group.

4. Have the user(node) that does backup the data grant access for restore to
   the users(nodes) who are restricted from doing backups but need restore
   capability.

5. The users who are restricted from doing the backups could restore data
   by using the "Display drives for node..." options from the utilities
   pulldown to get at the data backed up by the user authorized to do the
   backups.

   This of course assumes that the user doing the restore has write access
   to the disk to which the data is to be restored.
