You can do that by putting the “DISALLOW_SERVER_FILE_WRITES”
parameter in the bp.conf file or equivalent. One thing I haven’t
tested is whether or not you can overwrite that parameter using the bpsetconfig
command. I’m guessing not, but I haven’t tried.

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 :-)
