Netbackup Restore to different location
Hi ,
Does anyone knows how can I dis-allow Master server to initiate restores for specific client to different client locations. This is needed for security purposes.
Thanks..
You could use Client Encryption to achieve this, somewhat. Though I don't think it was designed specifically for your use case, it should give you something close.
Essentially, with the encryption key kept private on the client, not even the Master or Media servers could restore the client's data. The restore would only succeed when initiated from the client, because it has the key.
It doesn't just stop the Master from restoring ClientA's data to ClientB, it stops anyone else - including the Master - from being able to restore ClientA's data altogether, regardless of destination.
