    Hi,

     

    There is actually a way that you can use. BE ships with Backup Exec remote Console, which is a free installation x-number of times...ie: unlimited.

    What you can consider doing is installing this on the local IT staff workstations. When they open it up, it looks like BE (same icon etc).

    HOWEVER...this is where you can get selective...create a user account that is relevant to a specific site and give it backup operators permissions to a backup server on that site. From there they can do what they need too. However, it isn't too granular...so it's got to be a member of either the Power Users/Backup Operators/Local Admins group on that server.

    Read my article below for more information on this...
