Hi everybody,
I have a bit of a problem with one of my customers. He decided yesterday that it would be a great idea to restore 2000+ files yesterday. Unfortunately he also decided that it would be a great idea to create a seperate restore job for every single file. My backup master did not really like this and finally crashed.
Now obviously first and foremost I need to teach the customer how to properly do restores like this. However, since I am not really confident that this will be an easy or fast task I was wondering what my options were to limit the customer.
My first thought was to limit the number of jobs a client can do. However I realized that the 'Maximum jobs per client' option only revers to backups and not restores. At least I could not get this to work on my 7.6 Linux testmaster. (Backup jobs were properly limited, but I could start as many parallel restore jobs as I liked)
Is there any other way I can implement that? Or am I doing something wrong to get it to work? Also, would there at least be a way to completely remove the clients ability to do restores from his command line? (Customre should then contact the helpdesk and request the restores, this way our operations would do them. They are much more educated on NetBackup and know what they can and cannot do)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Chris
