Approval Process in NSS

Hi

I have a running NSS without any issues. However i am looking for an additional enhancement as follows

1. Need to setup an approval process for restore requests, so that if a tenent initiates restore it should create a approval request to admin. Post admins approval restore can be initiated.

Can some one please comment on it if this is achievable ?

NetBackup Master  Version : 8.2

NSS Version : 8.2

  • Hi

    Approval in NSS was not implemented and is not supported.

    The aim of NSS is to free up the Backup admins from day to day tasks so end-user backup transactions were not designed with the ability to have an authorisation process.

    This is a question which does come up when we talk to a prospective customer of NSS, but this has not been an issue with a production system. There are controls so you can limit what transactions a user can do, but its either on or off.

    If you are having a problem in Production then please let me know more details and I will feed it back to the product team.

    Thanks

    Jon
