Does anyone here use SUDO for non-root access to Netbackup; and, if so
can you send a copy of what your SUDOERs file looks like?

Interested in allowing backup admins the ability to do their jobs as
needed while trying to strike a balance with security concerns of UNIX
group.

Our backup admins have full sudo access to the master server (and media servers).

If you have backup/restore capability for the master server, all bets are off yesterday.  You have the ability to restore /etc/passwd if you want to.

Trying to protect yourself from a backup admin is a lost cause.  Trust your backup admins since they can do more damage than all your normal admins.

The UNIX group's security concern is security theater.
