Perhaps, I wasn't clear enough in a previous message. My organization is planning a rollout of Windows XP and would like to take advantage of its multi-user capabilities. (do I hear laughter??).
Attached are some screen dumps of the BA GUI and the prospective file layout should be apparent. In a perfect world, the data directories, (Data, Documents and Settings), will be backed up incrementally each day using the central scheduling service. Additionally each user should be able to backup and restore his files and his files only. Can this be achieved and, if so, how? >From the feedback I've already received, it seems that from a practical viewpoint, this scheme might be unrealistic to implement - (multiple dsm.opts, use of nodename parameter, licensing issues, etc.). Other implementations could be acceptable if these basic requirements are respected: (1) Data is backed up by somebody/anybody daily (2) Individual useres can back up and restore their own data and, perhaps, other users'data as well. My current situation in the lab is as such: The administrator can backup and restore any file he so desires. John Smith, can run dsm.exe but cannot see, let alone, backup any subdirectories under: Distributed File System Local Network Removable John Smith can, however, backup entries under System Object such COM+ DB, Event Log, Registry, System Files and WMI. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your ad for free now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
